Jetpack Lite

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 4 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 64% of the way through.

   “What were they thinking?“ I’m building a related site with WP 4.1, and I really miss it! I had to delete the “Whole Enchilada” JetPack plug-in: Even when I enabled only certain features (most important, the stats overview), it bloated the HTML code with disabled ones and dramatically slowed down performance. Many thanks for your hard work on a superior plug-in, Anna

   Slim Jetpack is way better. This just removes all the good modules in Jetpack by WordPress, and you still need to have Jetpack by WordPress installed.

   Had I wanted Jetpak I would have used it. In order to use Jetpak Lite you now need to install Jetpak – while I appreciate the plugin the way it was the current format is not what I want.

   I have really liked this plugin in, because Jetpack created issues on my blog, but I wanted the stats. It worked great, but the latest version requires installing the full Jetpack plugin, so what’s the point?

   This is ridiculous. I also had an issue with the upgrade completely killing my site, and now “Jetpack Lite” requires the full Jetpack plugin to be running – which the whole point of the plugin was to not have to have the full Jetpack installed. 1 strike and you’re out. Uninstall Jetpack Lite before it breaks your site, you can enable only Stats in the full Jetpack without having this guy’s buggy code (and bad attitude) do it for you. Really, you run a raw “if ( ! is_plugin_active( ‘jetpack/jetpack.php’ ) )” and completely break a site if they didn’t have Jetpack installed? (This was the code before the 3.0.1 update), and have the nerve to post “Your WordPress installation is your responsability not mine (SIC)” before the above code is found out? That’s ridiculous.

   First I do want to give a heads-up on one thing. If you are using a version prior to 3.0, this plug-in needs to be updated to version 3.0.2 before activating Jetpack. If you don’t, Jetpack (v2.7 at the time) may fail to activate (it did for me with a fatal error) because it was trying to execute some Jetpack Lite code instead and was trying to include a file which didn’t exist. Anyway, after I updated Jetpack-Lite to 3.0.2, I was able to then activate Jetpack without any problems. The only visible modules in the Jetpack screen are the Stats and WP.ME modules and my blog’s performance is the same as before.
