Added Google Fonts Optimization to combine eligible font requests and limit requested weights and styles to those detected on the page.
Added automatic Safe Mode recovery when issues detected by the update safety system are resolved.
Added CDN-aware stylesheet verification to improve update safety checks for optimized assets served through a CDN.
Improved
Improved HTTPS compatibility for WebP/AVIF delivery by ensuring generated image source URLs use HTTPS on secure pages.
Improved responsive WebP/AVIF delivery by including only image sizes whose optimized files actually exist.
Improved image HTML markup by preventing duplicate decoding and fetchpriority attributes and avoiding malformed attribute placement.
Improved Google Fonts performance by reducing unnecessary font weights, styles, and render-blocking requests. In one test, font CSS was reduced from approximately 170 KB to 64 KB.
Improved CDN compatibility by running CDN URL rewriting after other page optimizations, helping CSS optimization, WebP delivery, and missing image-dimension fixes process original asset URLs correctly.
Improved Safe Mode recovery by restoring previously active CSS Combine, Async CSS, and JavaScript Delay optimizations when automatic recovery conditions are met.
Improved developer tooling by including package.json in the distributed plugin package, allowing developers to rebuild the admin interface from the included source code.
Fixed
Fixed broken WebP/AVIF image sources on HTTPS websites where stored image URLs still use HTTP.
Fixed responsive image markup offering missing WebP/AVIF files to browsers.
Fixed CDN URL rewriting causing other page optimizations to be skipped.
Fixed Safe Mode notices remaining visible after Safe Mode was disabled through Undo Last Change, Reset, or Import.
Fixed uninstall cleanup gaps by removing plugin-specific version data, safety-check state, scheduled safety-check tasks, and cached Google Fonts weight data.
