JetPack seems to be a WordPress staple and if you have worked with WordPress extensively, you have run into JetPack and may have run into the many issues of JetPack. The issue is not if their are issues with JetPack, but because the plugin is so great, does the good out weigh the bad? Jason and I are in the same boat, we love the individual functions but do not like the overall idea of the project.

What are your thoughts on JetPack?
Nathan Roten says
Good interview Jeremy. I am using Jetpack right now, so this was very intriguing. What tools do you use to measure the load time of your site? I am wondering now if my site is slow. Thanks!

pingdom.com or Google Analytics. Either way, they show consistency with loading. Your site took me 3.64 sec to load and statistics state that after 3 seconds 40% of people leave a website.
Nathan Roten says
Thanks! Man, 40% is a big deal. Looks like I need to get to work. Thanks for the advise!
seventy8Productions says
Yep! Good luck.

Hey Nathan, Glad you enjoyed the interview. If you use WordPress, try out the P3 plugin. It will help you see which plugins cause the heaviest server load.
Other great tools are Yslow, and “Inspect Element” in Chrome
Nathan Roten says
Jason,
Thanks for the tip! I will absolutely check out the P3 plugin. I have read about it in other articles, but honestly I haven’t given load times much thought until this interview. Thanks for sharing!
