Jetpack vs. other plugins

Jetpack does a lot of things, as do other plugins.

What are you trying to accomplish? What problem(s) are you trying to solve?

If you need just 1 or 2 functions from Jetpack i would rather use specific plugins, but for wp beginners i think Jetpack is good as it will help you simplify a lot of things.

Check Jetpack modules list and decide.

sorry, it took me a bit to respond.

Thank you, this article was really helpful. I will look into it a little bit more.

I was looking into some “basic” plugins, but it seems like people either love it or hate it
