A Decade of Jetpack, by the Numbers
Jetpack is celebrating its tenth anniversary. The plugin began with a straightforward mission: close the feature gap between WordPress.com-hosted sites and self-hosted WordPress installations. That original social-focused initiative has since grown into a suite of tools used by more than five million sites for security, performance, backups, and third-party integrations.
The scale of Jetpack's operation over the past ten years is substantial. Here are the cumulative figures the team reports:
- 122 billion malicious login attempts blocked.
- 269 million site backups completed.
- 24 trillion images served through the Jetpack CDN, a feature that remains free.
- 61.6 billion site searches processed.
- 50 billion related posts displayed.
- 1.6 trillion page views tracked.
- 2.6 billion social posts shared.
These aren't abstract metrics for this site. CSS-Tricks relies on Jetpack for its internal search, real-time backups, and downtime monitoring. The plugin also powers the site's social sharing to Twitter, its related posts module, and its image CDN. Even the content creation process benefits from the Gutenberg blocks Jetpack provides.
To commemorate the milestone, the Jetpack team has launched a dedicated anniversary site. In conjunction with the celebration, there is a limited-time promotion offering 40% off the first year of any Jetpack plan.
