Automaticc’s Jetpack plugin is a very useful plugin which can certainly add something extra to your WordPress website. Although the plugin itself is continuously updates and new features are being added every month, the Jetpack plugin exists of 34 modules of which many are automatically activated after plugin install. This eventually could slow down your WordPress site if you don’t deactivate the modules you are not using.
So, if you do want to enjoy the benefeits of the Jetpack plugin but do not want to install the plugin because of the many modules you won’t be using and/or porsinle websites speed issues, there are some great alternatives in the WordPress.org cataloge. Let’s take a look at 5 of them.
Jetpack Lite
This plugin has been developed by Samuel Aguilera as a fork of the original Jetpack plugin. The Jetpack Lite plugin completly removes all Jetpack modules except for the Stats and Wp.me Shortlinks modules. In earlier versions it was not necessary to install the Jetpack plugin but in the recent versions of the Jetpack Lite plugin the Jetpack plugin is also required.
Although this might not seem too logical to most WordPress users, the original plugin is used in case of updates but aside of the Stats and Shortlinks modules no other modules are loaded by Jetpack so its aves memory and resources on your WordPress site. So, if you only want the Stats module activated, the Jetpack Lite plugin is a great alternative.
Slim Jetpack
Although Jetpack is a great collection of plugins there are WordPress who don’t like to link and connect to an WordPress.com account, necessary for some modules to vene work on o self hosted WordPress website. The developers behind the Jetpack Slim plugin wanted most of the modules of the original Jetpack plugin but without the initial WP.com login.
With the Jetpack Slim plugin you can still make use of most modules in the original Jetpack plugin but, as the developers already mention on the plugin page, their version is incompatible with the original version because of a lot of API functions which had to be removed.
Therefore if you want to use the Slim Jetpack you will have to delete the original Jetpack plugin. If you want the much acclaimed Jetpack Stats module then you will have to go with one of the alternatives earlier mentioned or with the original Jetpack plugin. The stast module requiers a connection with a WordPress.com account.
Gallery Carousel Without Jetpack
The gallery carousel in the Jetpack plugin is a very nice feature but there are WordPress users out there who do want to use the Jetpack Carousel but without be forced to install the Jetpack plugin and connect to WordPress.com. The guys at WPbeginner forked the Carousel module from the original Jetpack plugin and released it for everybody to use freely.
THe carousel feature of Jetpack transforms the standard built-in WordPress galleries into an immersive full-screen experience with comments and metadata. So if you want to make your typicl WordPress photo gallery stand out, simply use this Jetpack fork and jQuery Gallery Carousel plugin without installation of the Jetpack plugin.
JP Widget Visibility
One of the great features of Jetpack is the Widget Visibility module. With the Widget Visibility module you can control which pages your widgets appear on. Sometimes you don’t want certain widgets to be visible on all pages throughout your theme so with this module activated you can choose the visibility.THis is definitely a feature which many WordPress website owners can use.
To prevent installing the Jetpack plugin, you can choose the JP Widget Visibility plugin as well. It does exactly the same thing but without the whole Jetpack install. Just expand the widget and click the Visibility button next to the Save button. Then you can choose the visibility options so you can hide widgets on certain pages. Sometimes this can be very useful on your site.
NB There are many other Jetpack stand alone plugins from JP like the JP Markdown, JP Gravatar Hovercards, JP Omnisearch and JP Custom CSS.
Jetpack Sharing (JP Sharing)
Adding Social Share buttons to your posts and pages is essential nowadays and the Jetpack plugin has the Sharing module incorporated. Although many themes have a Social Share possibility, it is still nice to know you can also include this manually. If you don’t want to use the Jetpack plugin you have the possibility of activating the JP Sharing plugin.
This plugin – formerly known as Jetpack Sharing – has been rebranded to JP Sharing and was one of the first forks of a Jetpack module. With this plugin activated you can enjoy the same features as the original Jetpack module but without installing all Jetpack’s modules. With JP Sharing you can place your typical Social Sharing buttons underneath your posts and/or pages. What you don’t get with this plugin is the much acclaimed Publicize option, unfortunately.
