Environment Upgrades: Google Pagespeed Insights + Change in Release Naming Convention

Google Pagespeed Insights

This month, we will be upgrading and releasing to all client production websites a new “Core Plugin”, the plugin is essential in giving us feedback as to how quickly your site is performing according to Google PageSpeed Insights. With the information gathered by this extension, we will try to make sure that your site loads even quicker.

Change in Release Naming Convention

Effectively immediately we will also be changing our release numbering system, why we did this is simply due to the fact that as we automate our the releases more and more and up the frequency with which that happens our old system just wasn’t cutting the mustard anymore.

New Naming Convention

wp-core-version-5-random-characters

• wp-core-version: is exactly that the current version of your WordPress installation
• 5-random-characters: once again, self-explanatory, 5 randomly generated characters

What it looks like.
