Jetpack too heavy? Do I need this?

    Hello, all.

    Installing Jetpack according to this tutorial – https://www.scalahosting.com/blog/essential-woocommerce-plugins – in a couple of sites caused slow speed. So I stopped using it.

    What do you think – is Jetpack too heavy at your perspective? Do I need this?

    I try to use manually adding codes instead of plugins – for example code for caching, gzip/deflate, etc….

    I use such codes:

    <IfModule mod_expires.c>
	ExpiresActive On
	ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year"
	ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year"
	ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year"
	ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 year"
	ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month"
	ExpiresByType application/pdf "access 1 month"
	ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access 1 month"
	ExpiresByType application/javascript "access 1 month"
	ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access 1 month"
	ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access 1 year"
	ExpiresDefault "access 2 days"
</IfModule>

    and instead of Jetpack I prefer Cloudflare WP plugin.

    What do you think?

    Thank you.

    Hi @borislav123,

    I understand you’re concerned about Jetpack causing the sites to slow down and would like to know if it’s needed at all.

    Please know that a site’s performance is determined by several factors including your server capabilities, site’s architecture, active plugins, and theme.

    Here’s an excellent guide on site speed by the Jetpack team. Please have a look.

    Now coming back to your question: “Do I need this?”

    Please know that the WooCommerce plugin and many other plugins that you find on WooCommerce.com don’t require you to have Jetpack active on your site. But, having Jetpack on your WooCommerce store can have many benefits.

    I don’t want to overwhelm you with too much information at once, so I recommend that you read this guide and decide yourself.

    Please know that you can also contact the Jetpack Support team or use the self-service guide to know more about the product or discuss any issues that you face.

    I trust that helps.

    HI, @abhinava11n !

    Thank you so much for these resources. I will check them carefully.
    I respect teamwork that is behind Jetpack and WooCommerce and I believe that you do your best for that.

    I will also inspect other plugins used in my WP sites. There would be some conflict maybe so all unnecessary to be cleaned.

    Thank you again! ??

    You are welcome!

    Do not hesitate to create a new topic if you need help with anything else related to core WooCommerce.

    Cheers
