WordPress 6.9 introduces a more intuitive way to create content, together. Every detail is designed to fit your creative flow, from Notes that let you collaborate directly in the editor to a powerful Command Palette that helps you reach every part of your site.

WordPress 6.9 includes a broad set of performance enhancements. A better LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) metric is achieved through improved loading of conditional and inlined stylesheets, script loading with fetchpriority support, and additional core optimizations. Editor advances include fixes for layout shifts caused by the Video block and faster loading of the term’s selector.
