"Just remove plugins to speed up WordPress."

Terrible advice. We benchmarked 5,127 plugins and 34% of them actually make your site faster, not slower.

The problem isn't plugins. It's installing the wrong ones without checking their impact first.

@wordpress/build, the next generation of WordPress plugin build tooling https://developer.wordpress.org/news/2026/04/wordpress-build-the-next-generation-of-wordpress-plugin-build-tooling/ #WordPress #wpdev
@wordpress/build, the next generation of WordPress plugin build tooling

@wordpress/build replaces webpack and Babel with esbuild, auto-generates your PHP script registration from package.json conventions, and requires zero config. It already builds all 100+ Gutenberg packages. The plan is for it to power @wordpress/scripts under the hood — so wp-scripts build stays the same, but gets faster and drops the hand-written PHP. The API is still open for input. This is what it does and where it needs your feedback.
