Goodbye Jetpack

[ad_1]

It’s been fun; for years, we have enjoyed Jetpack, but now it’s come to an end.

Jetpack provided many features for free, including stats, which were very helpful, but now we need to pay for them. So, it’s time to install our other analytics solutions.

  1. Always deactivate jetpack and monstopin or whatever its called. So much spam and bloat.

  2. Ah yeah, you will be back soon. Everything out there nowadays are paid and subscription stuffs.

  3. Am newer to WordPress but what’s so hard about using google analytics instead?

  4. I am proud to say I have never used JetPack when it was initially released in 2011.

    I have been using WordPress since 2004

    I have uninstalled it on all WordPress sites to have migrated to my agency.

  5. You may use WPMUDEV plugins as alternative. And I am not sure if we can login to the office woocommerce mobile app for store management without jetpack plugin. I hate jetpack but i believe it’s mandatory to authenticate.

  6. I have 2 competitor sites that I’ve launched, 1 using Jetpack free, one using nothing besides my own solutions, unfortunately Jetpack works much better

  7. With very few exceptions I have not used Jetpack in many years….. it causes more problems than it solves.

  8. Is there anything or any plugin that works similar to Jetpack?

    Like, my original reason to use it is because having it makes sure my posts appear on the wp.com reader. And, sure, I want to get away from that at some point but as of right now, it’s an “easy” way to get traffic

  9. 8.34 Dollars per month? Seriously?.. How ridiculous is it that they want their customer to play 8.34$ to see those stats on a blog with 10,000 views a month 🤦‍♂️

  10. What…does it even do now? lol. Ten year WordPress vet here. Never bothered with it

  11. Same here, i uninstalled jetpack for this reason too. Now i only use google analytics.

  12. At least Hello Dolly is still free. The day they start charging for it is the day I’m leaving WP.

  13. Bloated garbage.

    It’s like the GoHighLevel for WordPress. Tries to be an all in one solution, and does none of it well

  14. I never liked Jetpack at all. The whole WordPress.com integration, doing too many things at once. It causes way more problems than it solves.

  15. $4.95/mo for Akismet? It used to be separate from jet pack. It’s integral, but it should be included with WordPress core. My smaller sites can live without stats or try Google, but you can’t have commenting without akismet.

  16. One of the great JP features was it notified you on down site time.

    Any other free options that do that?

  17. Jetpack was very handy, but also bloated and clunky. My IT team also objected to the fact that so many of Jetpack’s features were based on the plugin “phoning home” and sharing data with [Wordpress.com](http://Wordpress.com) on our self-hosted sites.

  18. I’ve never liked Jetpack, as several folks here have commented that it is a messy plugin with a lot of bloat and tends to break other things, at least from my experience. The fact that it is often presented as part of the WooCommerce auto-install means people click on it and then really don’t use half of its features – like the fancy Google Analytics plugins, which again add bloat and don’t really bring anything valuable to the table.

  19. The main reason I used it was to see the stats on my phone. Any suggestions for an alternative that can do this?
