What is the Performance Lab plugin?
The Performance Lab plugin is a set of modules that aim to improve performance in WordPress. While this may sound similar to the numerous other performance plugins in the WordPress ecosystem, the Performance Lab plugin exists for an entirely different purpose: It is a collection of performance-related “feature projects” for WordPress core.
Feature projects are intended to gather a group of people to explore potential ideas for WordPress core.
Historically, feature projects have usually been implemented as separate feature plugins. The Performance Lab plugin provides a centralized location for performance-related features which are intended to eventually be merged into WordPress core. Therefore, it should be considered a betaBetaA pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process.-testing plugin. The plugin’s performance modules can be individually enabled in the plugin’s settings screen, so that they can be tested in isolation or in combination. Being able to activate/deactivate modules is similar to activating individual plugins, but the Performance Lab approach comes with benefits: For both developers and end users, it removes the burden of keeping track of several plugins. For developers, it additionally reduces maintenance and encourages collaboration between developers.
