@mdxfr shared several regressions related to the post excerptExcerpt An excerpt is the description of the blog post or page that will by default show on the blog archive page, in search results (SERPs), and on social media.

Just want to point out several issues related to Excerpt regressionregression A software bug that breaks or degrades something that previously worked. Regressions are often treated as critical bugs or blockers. Recent regressions may be given higher priorities. A "3.6 regression" would be a bug in 3.6 that worked as intended in 3.5. in WP6.3. Since it is a base feature, it is important to fix it soon.

Seeking proposals for Interop 2024

TL;DR

Once again it’s time to submit your proposals, as Interop 2024 is happening! WordPress developers, please contribute your proposals for 2024 as on GitHub or as a comment on this post.

What is Interop?

Developing for the web’s diverse browsers has historically been complicated by gaps in browser capabilities that developers had to work around. Interop is a multi-year, multi-browser effort to address that. 

Interop aims to improve interoperability across the three major web browser engines (Chromium, WebKit and Gecko) in important areas as identified by web developers. Interop provides a benchmark – agreed on by representatives of three major browsers and developed through a process of public nomination – and a scoring mechanism.  The overall goal is to make developers’ lives better by enabling a widely compatible “Baseline” of web platform features.

The scale of WordPress and the wide variety of use cases we support puts WordPress developers in a unique position to contribute to and benefit from this effort. In the past, WordPress has helped identify and adopt important features like `srcset` and native lazy loading, and Interop gives us an opportunity to contribute feedback directly to browser developers. 

The Interop 2023 work has already made great progress including on suggestions WordPress developers made on last year’s post like color-mix, inert, import-maps and some contentEditable areas. Now, the effort has begun to identify issues for Interop 2024

What browser interoperability issues continue to present problems for WordPress developers? You can make suggestions to the Interop 2024 project directly by opening a GitHub issue or leave a detailed comment below.

Suggestions can include features that have inconsistent behaviors across browsers or features that aren’t available in all browsers. When formulating proposals, keep in mind that the goal of the project is to improve interoperability between browsers rather than identify new features.

What potential features in WordPress are blocked by cross-browser compatibility issues? Help make browsers better by submitting issues!

  • @flixos90 Last week I spent some time conducting field analyses to assess the performance impact of the WordPress 6.3 release. Primarily focusing on Web Vitals metric LCP which measures load time performance, and how it’s affected both in general, but also specifically by the two major enhancements that were projected to affect LCP:
    • the emoji loader script optimizations
    • the lazy-loading plus fetchpriority improvements
  • Sharing the most important highlights:
    • Overall, the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) passing rate has improved by 5.6% for classic theme sites and by 2.7% for blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. theme sites :tada:
    • The Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) boost for classic theme sites using the emoji loader script is 3.4% to 7% higher than for those that don’t use it, and for block themes it’s 0.7% to 4.5% better as well :tada:
    • When looking at only the sites where that is the case and which were still lazy-loading the LCP image with WordPress 6.2, the LCP performance impact amounts to a massive 16% to 21% improvement for mobile viewports and 6% to 9% on desktop. :tada:
    • Lazy-loading accuracy has notably improved: In WordPress 6.3, only 9-10% of sites still lazy-load their LCP image for classic theme sites (down from 27-28% in 6.2) while for block theme sites it’s 5-8% (down from 17-29% in 6.2) :tada:
  • @flixos90 drafted and published the Analyzing the Core Web Vitals performance impact of WordPress 6.3 in the field post
  • @joemcgill Nothing new from me this week, but we expect to do an initial round of benchmarks against WP 6.4 beta1 after it’s released next week.

At a high level, we will go through quick intros (what each person does/focuses on) before reviewing WordPress 6.3 performance impact in the field, diving into WordPress 6.4 performance improvements and looking ahead at what can be learned for WordPress 6.5. 

As a reminder, hallway hangouts are meant to be casual and collaborative so come prepared with a kind, curious mind along with any questions or items you want to discuss around this important area of the project, especially since the agenda is intentionally loose to allow for it.

  • I’ve been working on refactoring how the block toolbar is semantically communicated in the DOM by moving it to render in the editor headerHeader The header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes., rather than within the editor canvas.
  • The is a PR as a proof of concept. It is not ready to really be reviewed but is useful for seeing the direction it’s going

Registering Variations for Posts terms and Nav blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.

  • They are about creating variations on the server side for the post terms block and the navigation link block.
  • They happen too early, so custom taxonomies and post types may not be registered yet.
  • @get_dave suggested raising PRs and he would support with reviews or getting others to contribute.
