    The easiest way to create WordPress forms

    Step 1: Add the Form Block and click Explore Form Patterns

    We also deployed several fixes and enhancements to boost the block performance.

    SEO matters!

    We have new SEO features that will be available with Jetpack 11.6:

    • You can now tell search engines not to index a specific post or page. This is helpful if you want to share a public post or page with specific people but not the web. This can be enabled within the editor in the SEO section by toggling “Hide page from search engines.”
    • You can also set a custom SEO title for individual posts and pages. A page’s title tag is displayed as part of the search snippet in a search engine’s results page, as well as in the browser tab, giving readers an indication of the topic being discussed.
    You can test new SEO features under the Jetpack SEO section
