Changelog

Added
  • new perfmatters_cdn_url filter along with new helper methods in the CDN class.
  • the ability to completely disable Perfmatters code features using the new PERFMATTERS_DISABLE_CODE constant.
  • confirmation message when turning on FastClick option.
  • logic to remove the previous stored author ID when a code snippet is imported.
  • host name to global settings and code snippet export files.
  • additional logic to add an auto value to lazy loaded images sizes attributes when needed.
  • separate used CSS generated files for different WooCommerce product types.
  • dynamic request check in heartbeat function to prevent a possible PHP error.
Improved
  • lazy loading class to no longer add noscript tags by default for images and iframes to reduce HTML page size. The perfmatters_lazyload_noscript filter can still be used to turn that behavior back on.
  • get_atts_array utility method to use regex instead of wp_kses_hair for better compatibility.
Other
  • Reworked code snippet error handling class to work better with other exception handlers and existing error reporting.
  • Turned off CSSLint in the code snippet editor, as it is outdated and was leading to false positives.
  • Adjusted gutter column layout in the code snippet editor to be more consistent between different code types.
  • Adjusted code snippet priority field to allow both negative and zero input values.
  • Translation updates.
Fixed
  • an issue where CSS code snippets set to run in the footer were not having their conditions checked.
  • an issue where CSS code snippets were not always printing where expected based on the set location and priority.
  • an issue with certain code snippet input fields not being escaped properly in the UI leading to a broken layout in some cases.
  • an issue where YouTube iframes rendered with a preview thumbnail that had autoplay forced off in their query string would require a double click.
  • an issue where the referrerpolicy iframe attribute did not get applied to the generated iframe when using YouTube preview thumbnails.
