WordPress plugin suite for backups, security and performance.
Top-rated in Backup Plugins#1 of 6 in Backup Plugins by Overall Score
Jetpack bundles several WordPress services from Automattic, including real-time backups, malware scanning, brute-force protection, downtime monitoring, CDN and image optimization, site statistics, social sharing, search, and activity logs. Features can be purchased individually or through plans, while the Jetpack mobile apps allow users to monitor and manage connected WordPress sites.
Jetpack is modular: site owners choose separate services such as Backup, Scan, Protect and Boost instead of necessarily activating every module. VaultPress Backup retains an independent restore workflow with activity history, while Jetpack Scan reports threats and remediation actions. Teams should verify which individual subscription is attached to a site because an installation of the core plugin does not include every paid service.
Calculated from facts we verified on Jetpack's own website, using published thresholds. Nobody can pay to change it. Together with Market Signal it makes the Overall Score of 71 that orders our lists.
