One of the unsafest and performance-hitting things you can do in WordPress is run snippets via plugin. That is, until now. Because ​Perfmatters​ 3.5.3 now lets you add PHP, CSS, JS, and HTML snippets with zero performance drag. They built the feature from scratch using a flat-file system, no database queries on the front end, so it stays lightning-fast, ultra-secure, and never slows down your site. remk.us/perfmatters

Did you know WordPress 6.9 dropped 77 accessibility wins​: instant screen-reader upload alerts, zero keyboard traps, sharper contrasts, and semantic upgrades that make compliance effortless for devs. Sites become truly inclusive overnight! make.wordpress.org/core/2025…

Looks like Ollie Pro will be the choice going forward when building FSE & WooCommerce sites. Check out ​Mike’s post on X​:

My good friend Anne-Mieke Bovelett wrote an article on the WordPress Developer Blog about ​the importance of a good changelog​. I mean, is there something worse than “We’ve made improvements and squashed bugs so this plugin is even better for you”? Yeah, I don’t think so. developer.wordpress.org/news…

Brian Coords ​compared​ the ​arrival of DataViews and DataForm and such into WordPress 6.9​ akin to there now finally being a Fields API of sort in core. I think he’s right. make.wordpress.org/core/2025…

This starts with compatibility tweaks in 6.9 that flag legacy blocks and enforce apiVersion 3 in block.json, all to shield the canvas from admin CSS clashes so edits match front-end rendering precisely. make.wordpress.org/core/2025… This matters because it slashes styling headaches for block and theme creators, unlocks true responsive behaviors like viewport units, and delivers a smoother, more accurate editing flow that future-proofs sites without endless compatibility hacks.

Tareq Hasan wrote a simple but cool guide on ​how to use Cloudflare Tunnel with your WordPress site​. Begone, ngrok! tareq.co/2025/11/local-webho…

Did you know WordPress 6.9’s ​Streaming Block Parser​ processes posts token-by-token, cutting memory use from gigabytes to kilobytes on complex content while accelerating server-side rendering? It replaces fragile regex with a reliable API for partial scans, boosting speed and stability. make.wordpress.org/core/2025…

ACF Pro 6.7 dropped, and it ​allows for inline editing for ACF Blocks​; making working with ACF Blocks live, instant, and intuitive. And yes, to this day, ACF Blocks are, for me, still the way to go for custom blocks. advancedcustomfields.com/blo…
