Script Loader: Load block styles on demand in classic themes via the template enhancement output buffer.

  • This applies in classic themes when a site has not opted out of the template enhancement buffer by filtering wp_should_output_buffer_template_for_enhancement off.
  • Both should_load_separate_core_block_assets and should_load_block_assets_on_demand are filtered on, as otherwise they are only enabled by default in block themes.
  • Any style enqueued after wp_head and printed via print_late_styles() will get hoisted up to be inserted right after the wp-block-library inline style in the HEAD.
  • The result is a >10% benchmarked improvement in LCP for core classic themes due to a ~100KB reduction in the amount of CSS unconditionally being served with every page load.
