Jetpack is the ultimate WordPress plugin included in all websites on WordPress.com. This guide lists the Jetpack Essentials features included with Free, Starter, and Explorer plan sites. See our Jetpack on Plugin-Enabled Sites guide for additional features available on higher plans.

Connect your WordPress.com site to various social networking services so that you can automatically share (and re-share) your posts on many social media platforms.
The Jetpack commenting features replace the default WordPress comment form with an improved system that includes social media login options, comment likes, and more.
Jetpack includes sharing buttons for all major social networks so readers can easily spread the word about your content.
The activity log is a complete record of everything on your site, giving you a clear, transparent way to monitor changes. Free plans are limited to viewing the past 20 events, whereas WordPress.com paid plans have access to their complete site activity.
Jetpack provides your site with many additional blocks in the WordPress editor, including:
Jetpack provides several performance features to ensure your pages load fast and your visitors have a smooth browsing experience. Features like the Content Delivery Network (CDN) and lazy-load images are included in all plans, with the ability to turn these features on or off included in higher-level plans.
Jetpack Stats includes graphs, charts, and data to show you how many visits your site gets, which posts and pages are the most popular, where your traffic is coming from, and much more. Understand the most important information about your site through a clear and attractive interface.
Spam mitigation is powered by our Akismet service, so your blog posts and conversations on your site are less likely to be overrun with spam. You can see how much spam Akismet has blocked for you under Jetpack → Akismet Anti-Spam.
Are you using self-hosted WordPress? Jetpack is also available to install on your self-hosted site so you can take advantage of the same security and features.
