About Jetpack

What is Jetpack?

Jetpack is the ultimate toolkit for WordPress. It gives you everything you need to design, secure, and grow your site in one bundle.

With Jetpack, you can:

  • Fully customize your site with free themes, image tools, and rich content.
  • Increase your traffic through automatic social sharing, related content, and faster load times.
  • Get a safer, stronger site via secure logins and protection from brute force attacks.

All these core features are free. Advanced features like daily backups, spam protection, and SEO tools can be added with one of three simple and affordable plans.

Best of all, Jetpack’s features are provided and hosted by WordPress.com — so there’s never any extra strain on your server when you activate or use a new tool.
