Only a few weeks ago, we released PBS Version 4.1. This update included tweaks on the formatting bar and some text formatting updates, among others. For Version 2.0 though, while we made additional features, we decided to focus more on PBS’ overall performance.
200% Performance Increase & A Little Help from CodeInWP
引发这一改变的是来自 CodeInWP 关于页面构建器期望的一篇文章。该文章列出了他们最喜欢的一份精选名单,并根据特定标准对每一款进行了评测。虽然 Page Builder Sandwich 本身并没有入选该榜单,但我们在文中也被简要提及:
With Page Builder Sandwich you won’t also lose your content and will be able to continue updating the page easily via a default WordPress editor.
读到这些内容促使我们的团队进一步改进 PBS。而且,既然我们没有被列入名单,我们同时也很好奇我们具体有哪些不足之处。随后不久,我们联系了 CodeInWP,希望他们能对 PBS 给出一个简短的评测,特约作者 Ann Taylor 给予了我们非常具有建设性且有用的回复:
“…I played around with a free version a bit. It shows a lot of promise: lots of modules, pretty intuitive UI, great WYSIWYG experience, everything is dragged around easily. However, when I had around 10 modules on the page, it became hard to continue working with it because of low editing speed…”
这些宝贵的反馈促使我们进一步调查 PBS 的速度和性能。我们测试了许多不同的场景,发现了巨大的速度瓶颈。导致性能问题的根本原因是插件为了显示轮廓线、工具栏和其他可视化编辑提示而进行的各种计算。下图是 PBS 4.1 版本在 Chrome 中的性能图表:
Here are the important points of the graph in a nutshell:
- 较高的紫色区域表示情况糟糕
- 较宽的紫色区域则更糟
- 我们进行了大幅提速,现在 4.2 版本的图表如下所示:
If you compare the tall and wide purple areas from the two graphs, that means that we have achieved a 200% performance increase!
4 New Elements
对于这 4 个新元素,我们最满意的地方在于它们能够快速高效地创建完整的网页区块,无需将元素逐个拖拽到 PBS 工作区中。我们还将为您提供从不同样式中进行选择的机会,让您拥有更多空间来自定义这三个新元素以满足您的设计需求。
Spacer Element
Featurette Element
Since all of the Featurette Elements are pre-designed, all you’ll have to do is simply drag the “Featurette” button from the Elements Tab, and choose what you want to add on your workspace from there.

Gallery Element
A Huge Thank You
4.2 版本是我们迄今为止最重要的更新之一。毕竟,性能和功能对于任何优秀的插件来说都是至关重要的。我们要感谢 @Ann Taylor 和 CodeInWP 为我们提供建设性的反馈并祝愿我们在前行之路上一切顺利。对于所有的 PBS 用户,我们也衷心感谢大家一如既往的支持。
我们很快还会发布更多更新(包括我们承诺的 Google 字体功能等等),敬请期待!
在此之前,PBS 团队祝您建站愉快!
