Performance Lab Plugin (and other Performance Plugins)

  • @adamsilverstein created a PR to add Wappalyzer detection for the new Web Worker Offloading plugin – https://github.com/HTTPArchive/wappalyzer/pull/71 which was merged already
  • @benni had a question to the plugins. LCP priorization. Sometimes the LCP element on a webpage is text that uses a web font included via CSSCSS Cascading Style Sheets.. In such cases, the text can only be rendered after the font has been loaded, which can delay the LCP, I think? Would it be possible for the ‘Optimization Detective‘ plugin to detect when the LCP element is text and automatically preload the font in the <head> section to improve performance? Or maybe the ‘Image Prioritizer’ plugin could be renamed to ‘LCP Prioritizer’ and expanded to handle this optimization for text elements as well?

Active Priority Projects

Improving the calculation of image size attributes

  • @mukesh27 As part of the improving the calculation of sizes work, I’ve started implementing the new approach to the existing work so we can easily update it with the latest changes. The PR will be open soon, but before that, https://github.com/WordPress/performance/pull/1623 needs to be merged to ensure we have the latest changes on the feature branchbranch A directory in Subversion. WordPress uses branches to store the latest development code for each major release (3.9, 4.0, etc.). Branches are then updated with code for any minor releases of that branch. Sometimes, a major version of WordPress and its minor versions are collectively referred to as a "branch", such as "the 4.0 branch"..

Performance Lab Plugin (and other Performance Plugins)

  • @westonruter Yesterday a major improvement to Optimization Detective was merged, Leverage URL metrics to reserve space for embeds to reduce CLS. On the surface this improves the Embed Optimizer plugin so that layout shifting caused by embeds (e.g. Tweets) is nearly eliminated. Under the covers, the improvements here change when a gathered URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org metric is sent: instead of being sent after page load, it is sent later on when the page is left. This opens the door for capturing more metrics during the life of the page, including INP metrics. Additionally, this PR introduces a client-side extension framework using script modules.
  • @swissspidy will attempt to expand OD for video poster images this week
  • @joemcgill Last week, I updated https://github.com/WordPress/performance/issues/1511 with a summary of some technical discovery work from @mukesh27 and I, and shared that we’ll be picking up work on an implementation that uses the 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.

      • @flixos90 This already predated last week’s meeting, but I don’t think I shared it here: In https://github.com/WordPress/performance/issues/1032#issuecomment-2384151984 I summarized some of the responses for the onboarding feedback form so far.
        • I think the biggest priority based on the onboarding feedback is to make the feature/plugin activation work via AJAX. Because right now it results in a fresh page load, it means quickly activating multiple features is unnecessarily slow. It can sometimes even lead to weird errors if users click multiple buttons too fast (before the page reloaded)

      • @mukesh27 ran the benchmark for 6.7 Beta 3 and it shows the 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.. For more details https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02KGN5K076/p1728969097396969
      • @adamsilverstein I have been working on a colab to measure the impact of the Improved Responsive Images plugin / improved sizes work. I plan to keep expanding it, but results look promising so far
      • @adamsilverstein At a high level, sites installing the plugin saw a 4 or 5 % improvement in CWV pass rates (mobile/desktop)
      • @westonruter Any idea why this would be since only lazy-loaded images get auto-sizes? Which in theory wouldn’t be relevant for LCP? Are some of the lazy-loaded images with auto-sizes erroneously in the initial viewport, and so a smaller size of the image is getting downloaded and thus is reducing networknetwork (versus site, blog) contention for the LCP image?
      • @joemcgill I’ve wondered the same thing. At least part of this could be that some of those sites are not lazy loading their LCP images properly. Some of that improvement could also be correlation with other Performance Lap improvements, since it’s hard to isolate causation in these queries
      • @adamsilverstein some of it is correlation – for example when users install more than one optimization at a time; in the colab I’m also digging into some numbers like the Lighthouse “Properly size images” audit that are more directly impacted by the plugin. There we can also see the impact with less image optimization left to do in the audit after the plugin is installed
