Jetpack includes more than 50 features focused around Security, Performance, Growth, and Design. You can find the main features on our comparison page, and an exhaustive list of features on this support page.

Jetpack’s free WordPress CDN helps your pages load faster by allowing Jetpack to optimize your images and serve them alongside static files (like CSS and JavaScript) from our global network of servers. You can get more details about specifics in our support article.

Note that the WordPress CDN is also called Site Accelerator in the plugin.

A CDN, or content delivery network, improves the performance of your WordPress blog by optimizing server resources to let you handle high-volume traffic more quickly.

If you’re wondering whether or not a CDN can improve your readers’ experience, simply ask yourself these three questions:

• Does your site receive international visitors?
• Does your site experience lagging or slow load times at high volumes?
• Are you preparing for an upcoming increase in site traffic?

If your response to any of the above is “yes”, your blog can benefit from a CDN. For more detail on what a CDN is, why you need one, and why we believe Jetpack has the best CDN for WordPress, read this article.

Yes. We now serve static CSS and JavaScript files to further speed up WordPress site for visitors and decrease your server load, saving valuable bandwidth.

Please note that our WordPress CDN plugin does not serve audio (i.e., mp3, wav, flac, etc.) or video (i.e., mp4, wmv, flv, etc.) files. If you’d like to host videos on our CDN, check out our video hosting feature.

Any images you add to a page will only load when they’re in a visitor’s “viewport” — that is, when they actually get to the part of the page where the image is expected to appear.

On a page that has multiple images, this can save a substantial amount of time, because a browser normally loads everything regardless of where the visitor is looking. This loads the page in bits, so visitors can start reading or viewing your first few images right away.

Jetpack Search is a powerful search solution backed by Elasticsearch, Jetpack Stats, and our globally distributed data centers. We process your data with multiple technologies for a modern search experience that improves website engagement, so visitors can search, refine their results, and find the content and products that interest them. You can read more about the search architecture here.

While the default search function that comes with WordPress is functional, it is lacking in speed and flexibility. It may not match your theme and is difficult to customize. With Jetpack Search, you can have a search system for your site that is not only faster and more accurate but also more engaging as well.

Yes! Jetpack Search is a very customizable WordPress advanced search plugin.

You can customize the search overlay by logging into your site and navigating to Appearance → Customize or clicking on Customize in the masterbar at the top of the screen.

You can also customize the filters in Appearance → Widgets, and update the Search (Jetpack) widget settings in your sidebar.

Yes! Jetpack Search is an advanced WordPress search plugin and is compatible with popular themes and theme builders, as well as both mobile and desktop views.

Yes; it’s safe to try Jetpack Boost on any WordPress site.

Jetpack Boost does not alter your site’s content; it only modifies the way the content is sent to the user’s browser, to allow it to display faster.

As a result, all of Jetpack Boost’s features can safely be turned off in the event of an incompatibility with your other plugins.

It is safe to try Jetpack Boost out on any WordPress site.

Jetpack Boost makes small changes to the way that data is sent from your WordPress site to your users’ browsers, to enable the browsers to display your site faster.

Jetpack Boost includes a few separate features, which can be turned on individually to improve your site’s performance. These include:

• Optimize CSS Loading: This feature figures out the most important CSS that your site needs to display your site’s initial content as quickly as possible, and embeds it directly into your site header.
• Defer Non-Essential JavaScript: This feature forces all of the JavaScript which is not essential to displaying your site to load after your site’s main content has been loaded.
• Lazy Image Loading: This feature delays loading images on your site until they are scrolled into view, allowing your users to load the first content they can see, first.

Website Performance is complicated, and can be affected by a number of factors. As a result, it is difficult to accurately predict how much impact it will have on each site.

Generally, the lower your speed score is to begin with, the more Jetpack Boost may impact your performance. We have seen user reports of up to 25 Speed Score points improvement simply by installing and using Jetpack Boost.

However, as performance can be impacted by so many factors, it is also possible for Jetpack Boost to have a small negative performance impact in some rare cases.

We recommend that you install Jetpack Boost, and try it for yourself. It includes a tool for measuring your Speed Score, to check what impact it has on your site.

This plugin includes a range of performance improvements, which can help almost any WordPress site perform better.

However, if your site is already extremely well optimized, Jetpack Boost may not have much room to improve it.

Jetpack Boost includes a tool for measuring your site’s Speed Score - we encourage users to try it out and see what impact it can have for them.

Jetpack Boost does not include any optimizations that target large databases at this time. However, watch this space - we are always looking for new ways to help our users perform better.

Jetpack Boost can help sites with large images perform better through lazy-loading; preventing images from loading until they are scrolled into view.

However, it currently does not have any Image Format Optimization features. We are always looking for ways to improve the plugin, so watch this space for more features in the near future.

Jetpack Boost automatically defers non-essential CSS if its “Optimize CSS Loading” feature is enabled.

The “Optimize CSS Loading” feature identifies the most important CSS rules your site needs to display your pages as quickly as possible (commonly called “Critical CSS”), and defers all other CSS rules from loading until your main content has loaded.

Each Core Web Vital relates to an aspect of how quickly your site can load and appear on new visitors’ screens.

Jetpack Boost makes small changes to the way that data is sent from your WordPress site to your users’ browsers, to enable your content to display faster. As a result, it can improve your Core Web Vitals scores.

For example, our “Optimize CSS Loading” feature ensures the most important CSS rules are sent to users’ browsers as early as possible, improving both First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) scores.

Speed Optimization plugins for WordPress can be complicated and opaque for users. They often offer columns of checkboxes with little explanation, and don’t include tools to measure the impact of each change or choice users make.

Jetpack Boost aims to be as easy to use as possible, and includes a Speed Score indicator to help users immediately measure the impact of their choices.

Yes, Jetpack Boost is a WordPress performance plugin that can be used to monitor WordPress performance. Simply install it and check in to see how your speed score changes over time.

With few exceptions, Jetpack Boost has no problems running alongside most caching and speed optimization plugins. As a guideline, we don’t recommend enabling the same feature in multiple optimization plugins.

For example, if two plugins attempt to defer your non-essential JavaScripts, then they may end up conflicting with each other and cause display problems on your site.

If you run into compatibility issues, please do let us know. You can drop us a line on the Jetpack Boost Support Forums at any time.

It’s easy! Just install the plugin and try turning on and off each feature. They are one-click buttons and you can see which combination of features works best for your site.
