Every major WordPress update adds tools that change the approach to building sites. Let's break down the key novelties of the 6.5 branch.
Site Editor
Full editing of templates, site parts and styles from a single interface — with no need to dig into theme code.
Interactivity API
A standard way to add interactivity to blocks: filters, carts and dynamic lists work faster and more predictably.
Performance
- Faster font loading via the Font Library.
- Optimization of interface translation.
- Caching improvements at the core level.
Updating is worth it, but always via a staging copy — especially on sites with custom themes and plugins.
