Working with Global Services to identify pain points in Javascript resources distribution and unused code was the trigger to:

• Remove unused packages

• Deprecate old packages

• Set configurations to let users to not use/load some functionalities

• Create a JS size comparision report

• Create tooling to be able to split modules in smaller submodules
   

Key Benefits:

• Reduced total JS bundle size → Faster portal loading

• Reduced total exports → Faster portal loading

• Taking as example Masterclass home page:

  • Reduced JS Size in MB by 20%

  • Reduced number of request by 12 %

  • Mobile Lighthouse score from 52 to 56

  • Desktop Lighthouse score from 70 to 77

• Allow teams to divide modules to offer smaller entry points when they detect some part of the module is not commonly used.

• Size report tooling able to trigger risks.

The existing documentation for Clay components and the API Table has been inconsistent in quality, often lacking detailed explanations and practical examples. This inconsistency makes it difficult for developers to effectively utilise these components, leading to confusion and an increased number of support requests.

Key Benefits:

• Developers now have a better mechanism for generating API Tables for components, improving the overall understanding of component usage and available APIs. With detailed explanations and real-world examples.

• With this new standardised documentation practices we can ensure a uniform quality and completeness across all components.

• Clearer, more structured, and more practical documentation will reduce frustration and improve the development process.

• Clearer documentation minimizes the need for external support, freeing up resources and improving response times.

Field visibility can now be configured based on values within the same custom fragment. This enables fields to dynamically show or hide based on user input, supporting more responsive and context-aware interfaces.

This update gives teams more flexibility when building custom fragments, making it easier to support complex use cases without additional custom code.

With the release of Liferay DXP 2025.Q2, we are deprecating the Elasticsearch 7 compatibility due to the end-of-maintenance and upcoming EOL of the Elastic Stack 7.17. Liferay strongly recommends all customers with 7.17.x or earlier deployments to upgrade to the latest compatible version of Elasticsearch 8.x. Learn more.
