What's changed
Player preferred formats
We’ve made a change so that instead of MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) being the default selection for media streaming in the Responsive web app, the streaming choice can be made based on the player capabilities – for e.g., to allow HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) to be used if supported.
Better image 'lazy loading'
We’ve made the ‘lazy loading’ of images smarter. By deferring the loading of images on a page until they’re needed, rather than upfront, we can enable faster page loading times and improve overall app performance.
SSR exclusions
We’ve made changes that support the exclusion of specific paths from SSR (server-side rendering), to improve app security and performance.
