Great

Nice plugin thanks

Works silently

It works silently in the background. This is the only security plugin I use, since a W***fence update broke my site about a year back. Gives me a peace of mind.

Unplug Jetpack Reviews

by Alex Mansfield

Better than Jetpack itself!

Jetpack’s unnecessary requirement to connect to a WordPress.com account is so frustrating. This plugin removes that requirement for all Jetpack modules that don’t really on WordPress.com services.

Great

I only want to use Jetpack for gallery and this allows me to easily do it

Use Jetpack locally

Perfect for using Jetpack on local installs with Desktop Server, or when you don’t need all the connectivity with WordPress.com. Just install and activate and most features of Jetpack work.
