Overview
Wingify SmartCode just got more powerful. With SmartCode version 2.2, your experiments run faster, have a reduced impact on Core Web Vitals, and are ready to support future advancements. This means a smoother experience for your visitors without compromising website performance. You can upgrade your SmartCode by manually adding the latest version of SmartCode, available in the Wingify app.
Key Benefits
Upgrading the SmartCode to version 2.2 offers the following benefits:
-
Faster Execution with Server-Side Variation Decisioning
In SmartCode version 2.1, the modified elements of all variations are hidden, and the data of all variations is served to the visitor’s browser because the variation assignment happens on the client side. In SmartCode version 2.2, Wingify’s servers determine which variation to assign. In this version, only the modified elements of the selected variation are hidden, and only the data of the selected variation is served to the visitor’s browser. This results in improved Core Web Vitals, particularly First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Largest Contentful Paint (LCP). For your users, this means faster page loads and a smoother browsing experience.
-
Instant Changes with CDN Workers (Coming Soon)
Wingify is in the process of enabling support for running tests directly at the edge server of the CDN, where workers are supported. With this update, changes will be applied instantly, ensuring a seamless experience where visitors always see the correct version of your site, the moment they land on it.
Who Should Upgrade?
It is recommended for all Wingify users to implement SmartCode 2.2 to minimize Wingify’s impact on client-side performance and improve Core Web Vitals (FCP and LCP).
