I suspect it means that WP will be turned into a gigantic back-end SaaS server and the pages will contain dozens of small js code snippets that issue requests to the back-end.
That suggests the entire Admin portal will be quite transformed (it should be anyway, as it depends on so many screen reloads to update stuff). I’m not sure how the public view of the sites it generates would be affected, but take a look at other dynamic sites that are using lots of js to create what the user ultimately sees. In particular, run a Google query and then look at the page source and consider how you might parse it to pick out the various screen elements. They used to spit out a very nicely structured HTML page. Now it’s a horrible mess because Google has bent over backwards to make the content generation as hard to scrape as possible. I don’t know if WP would do that, but some users might want to make it hard for bots to scrape their sites, so why not? -David Schwartz > On Jul 31, 2024, at 4:20 PM, Keith Smith via PLUG-discuss > <plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > > > As for JS I assume that mean most of the processing has to be done in the > browser which means everything needs to travel from the server to the browser? > > Am I right on this?
