As long as you pass code web vitals, you’ll be fine. Also good luck running a large busy site on SQLite. 😀

I ran both tests again, and got this result. Yes, we do benchmark, but the claim about speed is based on using native lazy loading, removing loads of JS, moving assets into correct locations, the new CSS framework being smaller and the HTML structure being more compact.

Are you basing that opinion off screenshots from Adlago? He has spent years optimising his v4 installation to get the best PageSpeed score possible. I'm unsure how long he has spent with v5. In any case, a good portion of PageSpeed is down to the server, the use of CDN, etc. It's not just the software. Running the same test three times will give you three different scores, it's not an exact science. Likewise, running "grid" or "feed" view in v5 will result in lower performance scores because there's more images on the page; but I wouldn't just optimise for PageSpeed, actual humans use your community. In terms of "out of the box and running on the same hosting set up", here's our v4 compared to v5.

It really didn't.

As punishment, I will remove one random template hook point.

Added an issue, but please remember to post bugs in the bug tracker. 🙂

Yeah, the new icon picker would be ideal there.

From a Cloud perspective, our CDN optimises the images so it's not really a concern. We don't really use many images now, but those listed are generally around 1kb as-is.

Use your "Find My" to locate your laptop, then open your laptop. Kidding aside, we will continue to build on this basic implementation.

Yes, at worst we can upgrade your site to the latest 5 beta after purchase.

You may notice that Beta 9.1 is now available. We no longer talk about Beta 9.0.

Oh and from Beta 10 onwards, those on PHP 8.3.2 or newer can upgrade through the ACP. We fixed that, but you need the fix before the fix is.. fixed.

There should be an update out in about 10 minutes or so.

Yeah, I can reproduce. I'll get a patch out.

Beta 9 is here, and there's a little addition to the editor! Along with the usual weekly round up of bug fixes, we've added a basic implementation of tables in the editor. We're testing this out to see how it goes before we build on it, but you should be able to add rows and columns and do all the usual table-y things. Let us know what you think!

Changed Current Release to No

I love that!

If you can update your client area details with your Beta 5 installation, we can take a look.

That looks amazing! What a difference from v4.

Are you able to look at the server's error.log?

Also, as far as I know, the FCP timer starts as soon as the browser receives the content, the timer doesn't start when the test starts so a slow return from the server will not affect FCP. In other words, if it takes 10 seconds for the server to generate the page and send to the browser, the FCP time will not be 10 seconds + browser render time.
