    initial v1  
    1 Cross-document View Transitions enable multi-page applications (i.e. regular WordPress sites) to have a fluid navigation experience similar to a single-page app. They are [https://caniuse.com/cross-document-view-transitions now implemented] in all browsers, except for Firefox (see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1860854 Bugzilla 1860854]). The [https://wordpress.org/plugins/view-transitions/ View Transitions] feature plugin in Performance Lab has been very well received. (Source code is [https://github.com/WordPress/performance/tree/trunk/plugins/view-transitions available on GitHub].) This ticket is to propose merging that feature plugin into core.

     3The feature is [https://caniuse.com/cross-document-view-transitions now implemented] in all browsers, except for Firefox (see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1860854 Bugzilla 1860854]). Nevertheless, it is purely a progressive enhancement, the same as Speculative Loading, so Firefox users will not experience a degraded experience.

    35Note that the View Transitions feature goes best with Speculative Loading (initially [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2025/03/06/speculative-loading-in-6-8/ merged] in WP 6.8), since this reduces the latency between a link click and the transition starting. Increasing the eagerness of the speculations will improve the view transition experience (e.g. #64066).
