Well, I\u2019m happy to report that the WordPress performance team has introduced a new feature plugin.<\/strong> The plugin is called Performance Lab<\/a> and it features a number of fundamental performance enhancements for core.<\/p>\n The team was actually founded just five months ago and it is managed by Yoast and Google-sponsored core contributors. The team can already pride itself on over 250 members on its Slack channel, with many of them participating in weekly conversations on a regular basis.<\/p>\n So, today, our enterprise WordPress agency<\/a> will tell you everything you need to know about the new project of the performance team. Let\u2019s go and see what we know so far!<\/p>\n And so, our WordPress Agency for Development can tell you that the following modules are included in this first release<\/strong> of the plugin (we remind you that all modules are in various stages of development):<\/p>\n Our WordPress development agency has found out that the plugin\u2019s main goal is to make it simple for users to test ongoing improvements.<\/strong> There\u2019s a new Settings > Performance menu in the admin where you can easily enable or disable each of these modules.<\/p>\n For instance, here\u2019s how you can test the WebP upload module: upload JPEG photos and then check to see if WebP versions are produced in the Media Library and shown on the front-end. The Site Health status screen will display the other performance<\/a> modules as checks.<\/p>\n I and everyone at our WordPress development company were particularly interested in what Felix Arntz<\/strong>, a WordPress Core Committer, had to say about the new plugin.<\/p>\n Arntz stressed that the plugin should be viewed as a beta testing tool<\/strong> rather than a quick fix for a faster-running website<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a GitHub ticket about the plugin\u2019s branding Felix Arntz commented that the new plugin will not be a suite of all critical performance<\/a> features you need to make your WordPress website fast<\/a>. After all, that\u2019s the specialty of the already existing performance plugins.<\/p>\n So, the Performance Lab plugin shouldn\u2019t raise a false image of wanting to compete with what is already on the market. Our WordPress agency for enterprise<\/a> respects that important clarification<\/strong>, and we believe that Arntz is on the right track here.<\/p>\n I want to warn all users that they may get unexpected results<\/strong> when testing the brand-new plugin. This is especially true if you enable the more experimental features that aren\u2019t activated by default.<\/p>\n Our enterprise WordPress agency<\/a> wants to stress that the plugin should not be used in place of other, more well-known performance<\/a> plugins.<\/strong> Remember that as new features for core are suggested, Performance Lab may gradually evolve over time.<\/p>\n Felix Arntz explained that the list of modules provided in the Performance Lab plugin may radically alter over time. After all, it is a collection of potential WordPress core feature modules.<\/p>\n Arntz has made it clear that new modules may be added on a regular basis, while others may be deleted in a future plugin version after they have been integrated into the WordPress core.<\/p>\n All in all, our WordPress Agency for Development can conclude that the purpose of the new feature plugin is to aid the wider testing of ongoing performance<\/a> enhancements. This will help with filtering out edge cases<\/strong> before distributing the modules as part of a core release.<\/p>\n The WordPress developers from Vipe Studio have told me that issues and concerns can be submitted as GitHub issues<\/a> or wordpress.org support forum requests<\/a> by testers, so have that in mind.<\/p>\n That was it for this week\u2019s news, folks! I hope that the idea behind the new Performance Lab plugin<\/strong> has sparked your interest as much as it did mine.<\/p>\n Remember to come back to Vipe Studio\u2019s blog daily if you want to discover high-quality articles about everything WordPress-related!
