WordPress 6.5 included significant performance enhancements to go along with an ambitious set of new features. I've summarized the key performance improvements for this release. Props to everyone who contributed.

I had such a great time chatting with Jason Grigsby 🌻 on the Cloud Four podcast! Among other things, we demystified INP – including what it does and does *not* measure. (It's a great metric, but it's definitely not one-size-fits-all!)

Be interesting to see if 'high quality compression settings' includes the 75-95 that is prevalent on the web but it's exciting to see improvements to good old jpeg.

🧪 Compression dictionaries is in origin trial

🔸 90% or better compression ratios 🤯

We've been working hard to clean up the Shopify ecosystem and work with performance apps that were quite frankly cheating their customers (and our merchants). Lying to them about their performance is not in their best interest.

Earlier this month Chrome shipped support for the zStandard compression. I wrote a blog post about determining which compression is best for your content, and what levels to use. paulcalvano.com/2024-03-19-cho…

I recently set up a few blogs. There are a lot of issues, the performance isn't great, there are many bugs...but I released them anyway because I knew if I didn't they'd never be live.

I've really enjoyed writing again, so remember, things don't have to be perfect.

Keeping your site fast is a crucial endless game. Yet it's perilously easy to lose focus. Tim Kadlec uses the analogy of guardrails (automated testing & alerts) and breadcrumbs (deployment tracking) to make #webperf more visible throughout the dev process.
