IPS 4.6.8 is going to remove following extensions:
core/extensions/core/Sitemap/Applications.php core/extensions/core/Sitemap/Profiles.php So if your 3rd party applications or plugins hook into any of these files, please be warned.
 
Everything else 3rd Party related from our changelog:
I'm really excited about the last point.
Now you're be able to set a member group as not deletable, to prevent that a group which is used for member promotions, or which is literally essential for your 3rd party code can be deleted by the admin.
/** * Can this group be deleted? * * @param \IPS\Member\Group $group The group * @return void */ public function canDelete( $group ) : bool { return TRUE; }  
Just a short update after a while:)

Ok, so you certainly have spare memory available on you server 😄
You should try Redis.  If you have some analytics solution, you should be able to monitor the evolution of the performance on your site.

Thanks @Rikki! 🙂
 

Fully Agree. I tested a lot of fonts some time ago. The default font is similar to "Roboto". Except that Roboto is thicker and clearer. But default font is perfectly sufficient and loads immediately.
font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol";  
I use Roboto (many top sites use it from my observations) but not from Google servers. I uploaded the font to my server and redirected it to CDN.
Here's the tool https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com/fonts 
is good because you don't have to load all the charsets, you load the ones you use on your forums like latin-ext which translates into faster loading.

Thanks @SeNioR-. BTW I simply updated our themes to use the default font, this way we don't need to load these fonts from Google in order to improve page load performance.

I added a font-display property about a month ago to get rid of warnings. So far there have been no problems.
 
As for the font from Google, Google already uses a new code. IPS needs to update it.
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com"> <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:ital,wght@0,300;0,400;0,500;0,700;1,300;1,500&display=swap" rel="stylesheet"> Google added display property at the end.

font-display: swap won't really give any benefit to that particular font since it's used for icons - there would be no system font it can use temporarily. We can certainly experiment with font-display: block and see if that would improve how lighthouse sees the page though.

Update // September 14, 2021: WE MADE IT! 
After months of hard work behind-the-scenes, we launched our newly-refreshed website and community theme. We have a formal blog post about it on the way, but we wanted to share this soft launch with you first 🤫. Feel free to share your feedback in the comments; we're here for you and are chatting!

Hey all, Happy Hump Day!
@Charles and I joined forces here in Las Vegas this week because we're planning something super exciting. 🤐😎 
After 4.6 rolls out, we're focusing on freshening up our homepage/subsequent pages and match that branding with this community. That may or may not be an understatement, but if there's anything to take away from this teaser it's that there some slick visual changes on the way!  
If you guys have any websites/homepages which are clean & minimal that inspire you, we'd love for you to drop some links in the comments. We already do have a firm idea/concept planned out, but your opinions matter to us! We'd like to hear from you. 

Will there be an option for F.A.Q schema for pages or blog posts? 

Does anyone know if it's already done in one of 4.6 updates? 🙂

We may well have different caching levels on here to what you have on your own community, so wouldnt worry about that one

Seems to work better since V4.6.7

Excellent! Great to hear!

I am sorry to hear that the resolution was not enough through the ticket. I can certainly split your reply here to our Feature Suggestion forum if you would like or you can create a Feature Suggestion forum topic to explain your suggested change to this feature further?

Why doesn't showing online users affect performance in other forum engines? Enabling caching is not a "problem" solution.
Let the forum administrators decide for themselves what affects performance and what doesn't. The Who's Online block must have a separate caching setting to be able to completely disable caching. My current caching setting is 1 minute, but I still get constant complaints from users that they don't see themselves in this block. With caching enabled, this block is absolutely useless and inconvenient (like the "Recently Browsing" block in topics, which now does not display anyone at all).

Thanks for posting, and we're sorry that you're having an issue with your Invision Community.

Can you go ahead and submit a support ticket please?

We're going to need to get a little more information about your account to help, and this is best done in a private support ticket.

Thank you! 🙌

Are you running the latest release there?

 
 
If you are still seeing issues and on the latest release, please feel free to submit a ticket and we can take a look

Trying it with 1 minute cache since yesterday : have not seen any significant changes.

Mine is showing anonymous users logged in but I have that function disabled!

Thanks for that @opentype
Took a little finding as the ACP search returned Zero results for it, but like @Dexter_X I eventually found it.  As I don't use many blocks on my site, I reduced the time to a 1 minute interval and will see how it goes.  I do agree that some additional controls would be good to have that could be set for individual blocks so they can be prioritised and perhaps be less of a hit on performance 🙂
Thanks again for the info - much appreciated.

ok, I've reduced the caching time, but now it is really an issue considering performances because the who's online blocks do not need the same refresh rate than the other (much more static) blocks... 
A more specific option seems more adapted here or at least maybe a way to patch the code in order to disable caching for who's online concerned blocks (?)

sorry, but where is that ACP setting ?
 
Edit : found ! (ACP -> System -> Advanced Configuration -> Server Environment -> Performance)

You're quite right

Haven’t checked the code, but I would except it to use this ACP setting:

Which means it's practically useless now as it will always be giving false readings - I understand the performance impact issue, but how much of an issue is it if it wasn't an immediately obvious noticeable impact before it was introduced.  If it's cached then how often is the cache updated and would be an idea to give admins an option as to how often it gets updated and allow them to decide what impact on performance it has 🙂
