Today I’d like to introduce you to the Jetpack. If you have ever used WordPress.com for your blog, you will have used some of the below features without needing to worry about anything, features such as: emailing your posts, setting up a subscription email form, or creating a contact form. These features are provided to you on WordPress.com. However, if you are on a self-hosted site and using the WordPress.org CMS, then you owe it to yourself to take a look at Jetpack.

Many of Jetpack’s features are free, but if you want better security, spam protection, or the ability to drop in payment buttons, then you will want to consider the paid-for options in Jetpack. Tip: you could also get many of the paid-for options via other WordPress plugins that are not affiliated with Jetpack.

Last, but certainly not least, is the fact that Jetpack is accessible. For me, this means that I can use it with my screen reading technology.

I have listed all the features for Jetpack that I could find below. I have numbered them 1 through 52 and have also provided links to the appropriate information about each feature directly from Jetpack. When you activate one of these links you will be taken to Jetpack in a new browser tab. If you close that tab, you will return to this article. This should help make it easy for you to explore features without losing your place in the article. The below information has been taken directly from Jetpack; I’ve just consolidated it for easy access. If you would like me to take a deeper dive into any of these features, please let me know below the article in the comments. Now, hear are all the major features of the Jetpack!
