Gathering performance metrics automatically is a way to track performance over time and ensure that WordPress continues to improve. Automated performance tooling will also help the coreCoreCore is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. team identify issues and resolve them with less effort.
Why add automated performance testing?
Adding automated performance testing will help us monitor performance changes in WordPress core continuously. It gives us a track record to capture how core performance is being enhanced over time, and it allows us to catch regressions early and accurately identify underlying causes. Similar to our unit testunit testCode written to test a small piece of code or functionality within a larger application. Everything from themes to WordPress core have a series of unit tests. Also see regression. suite, automated performance testing would help protect core from introducing large performance regressions by catching problems immediately and tracking performance over time. Automating testing also means saving contributor effort by replacing a time consuming manual process.
The core performance team is focused on improving core performance. Examples of this work include introducing changes that reduce the number of database queries or improve caching. Each new performance team feature must show measurable gains, and each new WordPress release is performance tested by the team. In the 6.1 release cycle, this led to the discovery of some significant performance regressions, e.g. in this Gutenberg issue or this Trac ticket. Automated testing would catch this type of regressionregressionA 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. as soon as it was introduced, making it much easier to resolve.
It is worth noting that GutenbergGutenbergThe Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ has already done extensive work on performance, tracking metrics with each commit and publicizing details with each release.
What automated performance testing would do in core
Similar to Gutenberg, WordPress core would gather a set of automated performance metrics along with the existing test runs (e.g. unit tests, coding standards) we already have for each new commit. These metrics can be used to identify the exact point a performance regression is introduced into core. At milestones like a major releasemajor releaseA release, identified by the first two numbers (3.6), which is the focus of a full release cycle and feature development. WordPress uses decimaling count for major release versions, so 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, and 3.1 are sequential and comparable in scope., the metrics can be compared against the previous release to gauge progress.
Goals for the initial version
The scope of the initial version of automated performance testing is intentionally kept limited so we can deliver more quickly, then we can iterate.
The initial version will include the following features:
For each core commit a GitHubGitHubGitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

The system will collect server timing metrics using the standard WordPress environment and current recommended version of PHPPHPThe web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 5.6.20 or higher.
Future Enhancements
Several areas of work are considered out of scope for the initial implementation, primarily to keep the focus limited for the initial release — not because they aren’t good ideas! Once we build a solid foundation for tests and are confident in the metrics we are collecting, we can consider additional improvements.
Collecting additional metrics: initially we will focus on key server timing metrics
Collecting metrics for other contexts: initial metrics will only measure the home page of the latest core block and classic themes with their default demo content.

FAQ
Will the data be stable enough to be useful?
Performance results can vary in a CI environment, making regressions harder to detect. To mitigate this, the system will run several iterations and use the median value.
What metrics will be collected exactly?
Initially we will only collect a few key metrics to keep the dashboard simple, focused on the total load time. Once we have established the new tool, we can consider including additional metrics, or adding hooksHooksIn WordPress theme and development, hooks are functions that can be applied to an action or a Filter in WordPress. Actions are functions performed when a certain event occurs in WordPress. Filters allow you to modify certain functions. Arguments used to hook both filters and actions look the same. to make the test runs extensibleExtensibleThis is the ability to add additional functionality to the code. Plugins extend the WordPress core software..
What about testing older PHP versions?
To reduce the time/cost associated with running these tests, they will be limited to the current recommended version of PHP. Unlike unit tests, performance tests are unlikely to produce significantly different deltas for different PHP versions: regressions are likely to be across PHP versions.
Why not test wp-adminadmin(and super admin) or more routes?
In order to keep the time and cost of running these tests low, and the dashboard simplified, initial testing is intentionally being kept somewhat minimal. In the future it would be good to consider adding other common routes such as the wp-admin dashboard and single post page.

In case you missed it, this new feature had both a previous call for testing and a merge proposal ahead of WordPress 5.6. After months of hard work, it’s back and better than ever! For a quick refresher, the block based Widgets Editor is an upgrade to the widgetWidgetA WordPress Widget is a small block that performs a specific function. You can add these widgets in sidebars also known as widget-ready areas on your web page. WordPress widgets were originally created to provide a simple and easy-to-use way of giving design and structure control of the WordPress theme to the user. areas provided by WordPress through themes, that enables users to add blocks right next to widgets to their headers, footers, sidebars and other widget areas.
Help test this feature
This is a call for testing for the new block based Widgets Editor. Please report your findings on GithubGitHubGitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

If you have triagetriageThe act of evaluating and sorting bug reports, in order to decide priority, severity, and other factors. access, labeling any issue with [Feature] Widgets Screen or [Feature] Widgets Customizer, depending on the issue, would be very helpful. Alternatively, you can simply include “[Widgets Screen]” in the title to help those who can set the labels appropriately. Check out the instructions below for more detailed information.
What’s new?
The most important addition since the last call for testing is that the CustomizerCustomizerTool built into WordPress core that hooks into most modern themes. You can use it to preview and modify many of your site’s appearance settings. now supports editing blocks and widgets in widget areas with live preview. Compared to the first iteration of this project, where the widget areas in the Customizer were read only, now you can add widgets and blocks with live preview, scheduling and sharing right from the Customizer.
The main benefit of upgrading the widgets functionality to blocks comes from the ability to directly edit widgets using the familiar block interaction that you use when editing a page or post on your site. Being able to use blocks opens up tons of new creative possibilities, from no-code mini layouts to tapping into the vast library of coreCoreCore is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. and 3rd party blocks to create content.
For developers, unlocking blocks in widget areas also offers a core path to upgrade widgets to blocks and get ready for the future. With more aspects of content creation and management moving to blocks, including the upcoming block based theme format, this also helps bring consistency to the user experience.

Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output. `widgets_to_exclude_from_legacy_widget_block`. It is used to hide widgets that have block equivalents.
We now have a documented way to upgrade widgets to blocks via block transforms.The transform may be added to the legacy widget via typical block extending. This in turn enables users to migrate widgets they already have configured to new block equivalents provided by plugins.
Test enabling and disabling theme support
Test widget areas provided by themes, particularly “dynamic” sidebars, which appear depending on other factors.

Previously, developers opted to present the widget UXUXUser experience differently in the widgets screen compared to the Customizer. However, the best practices are preserved in the Customizer.
We’re having an audit of extension points and how well supported they are. Please add missing things that you may find.
Considerations around Opt-in vs Opt-out
Because there is not enough data and stories, a decision has not yet been made on whether the block based Widgets Editor will be opt-out by default or an option for each theme to opt into. Currently, we’re providing the following options for opting out:
The Classic Widgets plugin which allows users to easily opt out of the new blocks in widget areas feature and see the classic widget editor only.
The `widgets-block-editor` theme supports which allows theme authors to opt out of supporting blocks in widget areas. This also reverts WordPress adminadmin(and super admin) to the classic widget editor.
The `gutenberg_use_widgets_block_editor` filter which allows administrators to opt out of supporting blocks in widget areas in cases where this is required. Like the two above, this also reverts WordPress admin to the classic widget editor.
A recent discussion in the Core Editor chat is a good summary on why we’re opting out via a plugin for users. Briefly, it seems to be the cleanest and least prone to maintenance requirements mode possible, versus settings in other plugins or user settings.
This is a difficult decision to make since supporting blocks in widget areas is an important part of the roadmap of WordPress and it will eventually be the default experience. Today, it’s important to determine the impact and significance of the current work on backwards compatibility.
Thank you!
Thank you for helping with testing the new Widgets Editor! Since it is one of the major focuses of WordPress 5.8 any help in this early stage is immensely valuable as it will help determine how viable it is for merging.
Later updates
Monday, May 17th – updated the instruction steps for the user section and added a step to enable the Customizer widgets block editor. This is essential to test the most important addition, adding blocks to widget areas using the Customizer.
