Servebolt Optimizer Version 3.5.1

In this update, we optimized the changelog by removing entries prior to version 3.5 to shorten the log, as requested by WordPress. We updated the tags in the readme.txt file to meet the recommended count per WordPress guidelines. We enhanced host call validation by adding sanitization and improved validation to host calls for purging via an update to the Servebolt SDK. This ensures only valid hostnames are used and eliminates duplicates, enhancing security and efficiency.
We improved error messaging by making purge-related AJAX error messages readable within the modal window. Users can now click a button to review errors, which expands to display detailed information. We reduced cache tags by removing unused ones to improve performance and reduce the number of required purge requests, optimizing overall efficiency. Lastly, we fixed an issue with the Servebolt CDN purge by adjusting the purge call on single post purges, resolving previous purge errors to ensure seamless operation.

Accelerated Domains

Updated image format prioritisation

Accelerated Domains now prioritizes the AVIF image format over WebP when serving images. This change reflects our ongoing commitment to improving performance and optimizing user experiences.
Why this is a good idea:
  • Better Compression: AVIF offers superior compression compared to WebP, meaning smaller file sizes without sacrificing image quality. This leads to faster load times and reduced bandwidth usage.
  • Higher Image Quality: AVIF supports more advanced features like better color depth and transparency handling, allowing for crisper and more vibrant visuals.
  • Environmental Impact: By delivering smaller image sizes, we're reducing energy consumption for data transfer, aligning with Servebolt's sustainability goals.
This update will ensure faster load times, enhanced visual experiences, and a more eco-friendly approach to image delivery across Accelerated Domains.
The beta version of our new admin panel is now available.
The beta includes support for the new Servebolt platform, improved navigation, dynamic PHP versions, and more.
