Performance Chat Summary: 15 July 2025
The full chat log is available beginning here on Slack.
Performance Lab Plugin (and other performance plugins)
- @westonruter noted that View Transitions 1.1 is releasing soon.
- @mukesh27 asked about an upcoming Performance Lab suite release.
- @flixos90 proposed a one-off Performance Lab release to ship recent enhancements rather than waiting for all pending plugins.
- @westonruter highlighted PR #2059 from @b1ink0, which addresses a fundamental issue with the enqueued assets site health test.
- @flixos90 suggested waiting for that PR before proceeding with a new Performance Lab release.
- Additionally, @westonruter shared an open issue to potentially highlight the addition of View Transitions in the Performance screen for better discoverability (issue #1239). @flixos90 agreed on the value but emphasized that it involves more complex UX work and shouldn’t block the current release.
Open Floor
- @b1ink0 asked if anyone planned to attend WordCamp US and could help represent the Performance Team during Contributor Day on August 26 2025.
- @adamsilverstein shared that he’ll be attending and plans to focus on AI and Gutenberg tables, so he won’t be able to lead the performance table. @flixos90 also confirmed he will attend but will focus on the AI table.
- @westonruter offered to lead the performance table during Contributor Day.
- @b1ink0 asked for volunteers to lead the upcoming Performance Bug Scrub scheduled for July 22, 2025. Interested contributors were invited to sign up on the schedule spreadsheet.
- @flixos90 mentioned he can’t lead the next two scrubs but is available for August 19 2025. He noted the challenge of finding enough volunteers and mentioned that if there isn’t enough support, the bug scrubs might need to stop, which would be unfortunate.
- @westonruter offered to start leading bug scrubs regularly from September onwards.
Our next chat will be held on Tuesday, July 29, 2025 at 15:00 UTC in the #core-performance channel in Slack.
