We’re excited to share the release of Gutenverse v3.4.0. This update focuses on performance improvements that help your site load faster and work more efficiently, without changing the way you build your site.
SVG Icons for Better Performance
Gutenverse now gives you the option to use SVG icons instead of webfonts. SVG icons are more efficient because they load only what’s needed, helping pages load faster and reducing extra files.
This improvement makes your site feel lighter and more responsive, which leads to better performance scores and SEO.
CSS & JavaScript Optimization
In this release, we focused on making asset loading more efficient. CSS and JavaScript files are now loaded only for the blocks and features that are actually used on a page. This helps reduce unnecessary code and keeps pages loading faster, making the site feel lighter overall.
Improved Post Block Pagination for SEO
We’ve made some improvements about how pagination works in post blocks. The structure has been cleaned up and the underlying code refined, making it easier for search engines to read and index paginated content.
With a simpler and cleaner pagination system, your content has a better chance of being discovered in search results, helping improve your site’s visibility.
Improved Styling Cache Mechanism
Last but not least, we’ve improved the styling cache mechanism to ensure styles load instantly on subsequent visits.
By reducing repeated style generation and unnecessary processing, pages feel smoother and more responsive. This not only improves the user experience but also helps strengthen Core Web Vitals scores.
