## Description

A lot of people, like me, miss the [WordPress.com Stats](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/)
standalone plugin and only wants this part of Jetpack.

This plugins completely **prevent all modules in Jetpack from being loaded except
for Stats and WP.me Shortlinks modules, this means that all other modules are not
loaded by Jetpack in any way, saving memory and resources** in your WordPress and
leaving Jetpack only with the same features of [WordPress.com Stats](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/)
plugin that sadly was discontinued long time ago and replaced by Jetpack by WordPress.
com

Current version of the plugin it’s pretty simple, it just uses a few filters provided
by Jetpack, so it’s totally fail safe. Also nothing is saved to the database, so
deactivating the plugin is enough to revert it effects.

GDPR Notice: The author of Jetpack Lite doesn’t collect ANY data. Also no data is
saved in your site by Jetpack Lite.

#### Features

 * Automatically prevents Jetpack from loading any modules except for Stats and 
   WP.me Shortlinks, saving system resources and cleaning the interface for modules
   that you don’t want to use.
 * Disables Jetpack’s Ads (aka “just in time messages”).

#### Requirements

 * Jetpack.
 * WordPress version required by Jetpack.

    activate and connect it to WordPress.com if you’re prompted to do it.
 3. That’s it. You’re ready to go!

## FAQ

  Installation Instructions

 1. Install and activate Jetpack Lite (if you’re upgrading from 2.x, upgrade Jetpack
    Lite **before** activating Jetpack in the next steps).
 2. If you don’t have it already, install [Jetpack](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/),
    activate and connect it to WordPress.com if you’re prompted to do it.
 3. That’s it. You’re ready to go!

  Is this plugin an official release from Automattic or WordPress.com?

NO. Jepack Lite **IS NOT an official** plugin by Automattic or WordPress.com

  Why Jetpack Lite 3.x needs Jetpack to be installed?

When I created Jetpack Lite years ago, I did it as fork of Jetpack **only because
no other method to do it was available at that moment**.

Fortunately, since some time Jetpack can be trimmed down without the need of making
a fork. That’s why I changed the way Jetpack Lite does the work. In fact, now, Jetpack
Lite doesn’t use any resource, it simply says to Jetpack to only load the Stats 
and Shorlinks modules, so the other modules won’t load or consume any resource in
your WordPress.

This way is much better, because now you don’t need to wait for me to update a whole
new plugin when a new Jetpack gets published.

So now when Jetpack core or Stats and Shortlink modules are improved by Automattic,
you’ll get that just by upgrading Jetpack while keeping the reduction of Jetpack
resources usage.

Make a simple mistake, pay for it with RTFM-style support trolling. Why not just
use Google Analytics and spare yourself the trouble?

   not Jetpack menu).
