# [Plugin: Jetpack by WordPress.com] High CPU Ussage

 * We installed the plugin and we got our web site down for 3 hours because of high
   CPU ussage. We usually consume about 3% of CPU during high traffic times of the
   day. With the Jetpack installed, we reached 20%, so our hosting shutted down 
   our server. We quickly uninstalled Jetpack and everything was back to normal 
   again.
 * I’m so upset that you force me to change WordPress.com Stats which functions 
   perfectly, with that anoying blue message… to this piece of crap that has so 
   many functions I don’t really need. They should be different plugins not an All-
   in-one installation.

 * Totally, absolutely AGREE with this post!! ShareDaddy, LaTex, Deadline, GravatarHover,
   FOR WHAT?? We are not early teenagers that need so much fancy features and functions,
   we are quite serious WP user.

 * At the end, Jetpack was not the one causing the error, it was a damned WP-Minify
   bug. We just noticed it after several hours of false attempts and tests. For 
   some, reason, when Jetpack was activated at the same time when WP-Minify was 
   generating errors, the CPU went up like crazy. I wrote about it on [this thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-minify-thousands-of-errors-in-error_log?replies=2).
   Conclusion: Jetpack works well.
 * But, I agree with jcglobalcitizen: It would be nice a simplified plugin with 
   not so much functions as Jetpack.

 * Hello ChowKaiDeng,
 * It’s not WP Minify, since I never used WP-Minify. But in your case probably so.
   It’s pure Jetpack’s problem. I deleted Jetpack and switched to Jetpack Lite [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack-lite/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack-lite/)
   which much-much faster and lighter than the full version.
 * Moreover, I use PHP Speedy instead of WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache. Both
   Cache system in one to another way is heavily loading the CPU processing time.
   I strongly recommend PHP Speedy [http://aciddrop.com/php-speedy/](http://aciddrop.com/php-speedy/)
 * It’s not in WP plugins repository, it’s independent. It works wonderful, increases
   significantly the loading page. You can check the performance objectively using
   YSlow and/or Page Speed (Firefox or Chrome plugins). Minifying PHP works better
   than any caching system, or minifying JS and CSS.
