User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate Jetpack Boost for its ability to significantly enhance website performance with minimal effort. It optimizes speed, aids in SEO, and improves site metrics like Core Web Vitals. The plugin is user-friendly, integrates well with WordPress, and helps with image optimization and CSS management. Users also value its cost-effectiveness and ease of use. However, some users have faced support issues, including inconsistent help from multiple representatives and lack of phone support. Technical problems include plugin conflicts, dependencies on other Jetpack features, and sometimes no improvement or even slowdown in site speed. Advanced users may find the plugin lacking in customization options.

Concatenate JS might work ok; the cdn works fine. The optimize css settings; I left those alone because they broke my site. But for free, this is gold nuggets; you can’t find what you get in Jetpack boost elsewhere. Nothing but good things to say; but I’ve seen better minify.

It takes time but in the end it pays off, after many attempts I got the bobile speed at about the same level as desktop. Having scored “A”, I feel progress is being made at last. Well done jetpack!
