## Conclusion

The Jetpack plugin offers a variety of features and is an all-in-one package. Despite its many features, Jetpack falls short when compared to purpose-built plugins.
Jetpack’s CSS and JavaScript optimization is not as good as Autoptimize or WP Rocket. Having said that, Jetpack does have some good features. Certain types of content creators will benefit from Jetpack's full-screen image carousels and support for Markdown and LaTeX.

Ultimately, whether you enable Jetpack depends on your site's needs.
