The most concerned thing of ordpress users) can be summarized as the word speed. Let’s take a closer look. The
WordPress will soon take off, and PHP 7 is much faster than previous versions. The usual protocol is that the resources required to run the code are much less, and generally at least twice as fast. From the following initial test results, we can see that two good news for WordPress users are: The tests of Zend and WP engine (among many other things) have confirmed the considerable improvement in speed and performance that can be expected. The WordPress core team has been committed to preparing a new version for the platform since the middle of 2015. The
The performance of WordPress has been greatly improved. Here are two main points to emphasize. Changes that are incompatible with older versions that plug-ins and theme developers need to consider in the future. WordPress’ commitment to backward compatibility is stronger than ever. PHP 7 and earlier versions will continue to be supported. From the perspective of average end users, it is fair to say that php7 will actually run out when it sees the benefits. Anecdotal evidence around the web shows that many people have a lot of work to do before they are ready for new popularity, such as hot topics and plug-ins. Just as Jason Cohen, the founder of WP engine, announced that PHP 7 optim support will be tested in the second half of 2016, this is also supported by the self survey on the general status of PHP 7 readiness. The
We run PHP 7 on some computers, but it is surprising how many WP sites are compatible on site. We found that it was less than 20%. Therefore, an optical drive is required. From a broad perspective, the end-user transition to PHP 7 will be slow and stable as the core team, hosting partners and developers continue to work hard to provide bulletproof solutions. That said, let’s see if the developers are ready to pull the trigger and start closing. The reason why developers ignite the fire of conversion (now) is that developers (of course) are cautious people. Most people may gradually get used to PHP 7, rather than charging aggressively in all aspects. The basic PHP package provided with various Linux distributions will gradually become an organic element such as PHP 7, which will help, but it is not expected to proliferate soon. The
Before the official release, the developer questionnaire conducted by PHP classes provided an appropriate snapshot of the feelings of the whole community. The interviewees were asked three simple questions. Is PHP 7 used in production? Do you use PHP 7 in your development environment? What is the latest version of PHP used in production? Although all the results can be seen on the survey page, about half of the respondents actively consider using it in the production environment in the short to medium term, which is almost the same as the amount they have used or are going to start using. Use in the development environment:
Considering the full range and variety of things that may go wrong in all development settings, this gentle method has a lot of significance. However, in fact, many large-scale clothes with resources to jump in and browse have been successfully converted, and Badoo is still the main reason. The happiness of Badoo has jumped to php7. Conclusion compared with the previous PHP distribution (the main version and the sub version), the distribution immediately went very smoothly. So far, the TV dramas related to this are far from enough. The latest version of the WordPress benchmark shows real innovation speed and performance improvements
Rest APIs are starting to exist at the same time, which is good news for both developers and users. The
Nevertheless, the path of full adoption will be a slow and cautious one, and there is still a lot of work to be done to ensure that there is no serious conflict between the hosting company and the developers in this process. But at least the eagle finally landed! You are considering converting to PHP 7, so what led you to PHP 7? Please share your comments in the comments section below! Main image credit: neico.
