leighton30 unresolved

had to link a wp.com acc just to get started which was a bit meh tbh. but once that’s done, the stats & security stuff is actually rly useful. i dnt even use half the features lol but the ones i do use work well. keepin it Hi leighton30, Sebastian here, I hope you are doing well. Thanks a lot for taking the time to leave a review, and for sticking with Jetpack. It really means a lot to read that the stats and security tools are pulling their weight for you. I hear you on the WordPress.com account setup step ; it is fair feedback. The reason it is part of the flow is that the connection lets your site talk to our cloud, where the heavy lifting happens (real-time stats processing, off-site backups, Akismet spam filtering, downtime monitoring, and so on). Keeping that work off your own server makes the features feel snappy, but I understand that the extra step at the start isn’t the friendliest first impression. If you ever want to poke at the parts you have not explored, here is a full list of what comes with the free plugin: https://jetpack.com/features/ Thanks again for the kind words, really appreciated. Warm regards,
