    Designing APIs is hard. There's often a contradiction between designing simple APIs with a small learning curve and flexible APIs that allow all kinds of use-cases. Sometimes the best solution is to offer two APIs optimized for one or the other.

    Make performance a top priority for your plugin, if the admin or the frontend become slower as soon as your plugin is activated, users are going are to look for alternatives.

    Do not make optimizations without computing/measuring their impact, be sure that your changes do impact the performance metrics or you’ll end up with code that is hard to maintain for nothing.

    If you have UIs that grow linearly as the content/post grows, consider lazy-rendering/virtualization techniques. There’s a limit to what your CPU can do in a small timeframe.

    Be mindful of background tasks like content analysis, or any heavy computation, consider web workers or delaying these to idle time see window.requestIdleCallback

    If you’re extending the block editor, be careful every time you use useSelect/withSelect/subscribe from the data module. Also, avoid using slow selectors (like getEditedPostAttribute(‘ content’ ), getBlocks()...). More details on my previous post

    If you don’t know how to do this (add metrics and monitor them), at least run the ones included in the Gutenberg editor. It’s a good starting point. Instructions to do this in the post above.

    If you’re a plugin author, regardless of whether your plugin extend the editor or not, it’s important to have a set of metrics we track over time to avoid regressions. Include this in your CI pipeline if needed or your release process.

    Block editor specific plugins: Block Libraries, Template libraries, Blocks extending the editor have a bigger impact on the editor. They require more care to avoid performance regressions.

    The popular WordPress plugins are reasonably fast, they might impact the loading time of the editor a bit but it’s stays acceptable.

    💡Have you ever wondered why the WCAG colour contrast ratio doesn't always seem to work?💡 Well it actually has to do with how we calculate colour contrast and is super interesting. Hold on to your butts, this is a 🧵
