</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/westonruter/" class="mention"><span class="mentions-prefix">@</span>westonruter</a> also noted that the admin pointer should be omitted if View Transitions is already active (<a class="" href="https://github.com/WordPress/performance/issues/2136">Issue #2136</a>) and mentioned <a class="" href="https://github.com/WordPress/performance/pull/2119">PR #2119</a>, which proposes adding the No-cache BFCache plugin as a new feature to Performance Lab.</li>
