Program transcript Hello, I’m Alicia Ireland, and you’re listening to WPpodcast, bringing the weekly news from the WordPress Community. In this episode, you’ll find the information from December 22, 2025 to to January 4, 2026. The Performance team has published a year end summary reviewing technical priorities and key discussions around performance in core and new features. One of the central topics was the proposal to integrate the View Transitions plugin directly into WordPress 7.0, which would improve visual transitions in the admin and in themes that support it, while also considering compatibility controls for plugins and custom code. They also discussed improvements to speculative loading and caching, including adjustments to detect caching systems and reduce delays on link clicks in hosting environments with active caching. In addition, the team addressed performance in the admin panel and the dashboard, identifying tickets to take advantage of preloads and new techniques such as Compression Dictionaries, which can reduce CSS downloads and improve load times when supported by browse...

Program transcript Hello, I’m Javier Casares, and you’re listening to WordPress Podcast, bringing the weekly news from the WordPress Community. You’ll find updates from January 29th to February 4th, 2024. It’s been 8 years since a ticket was first submitted proposing the preloading of certain PHP parts of WordPress. Now, a new proposal has been developed over the past few months. This new implementation aims to improve performance by reducing load times and memory usage by only loading the necessary files, which is essentially the goal of this preloading system. The approach has been kept simple, focusing only on core classes and, for now, excluding an API for plugins or themes, or the use of Composer, though it’s not ruled out that these could be incorporated in the future. This modernization represents a significant step in optimizing WordPress and offers benefits for both core developers and the overall performance of websites. With WordPress 6.4.3, we have <a href="file:///D:/podcast/WPPodcast/e192/WordPress%206.4.3%20es%20una%20actualización%20de%20mantenimiento%20y%20seguridad%20que%20incluye%205%20correcciones%20de%20errores%20en%20el%20núcleo,%2016%20correcciones%20en%20el%20editor%20de%20bloques%20y%202%20actualizaciones%20de%20seguridad.%20Se%20recomienda%20actualizar%20los%20sitios%20de%20inmediato,%20y%20la%20actualiza...
