We've just released two improvements that will make WordPress.com even more efficient for you, leaving you more time to create content.

Site Stats

If you get a lot of traffic to your blog, your stats were sometimes slow to load.  We know you like to look at your stats often, think about how all those seconds added up.  Now, your main stats page loads all of its data in parallel:

This loads your whole stats page two to three times faster, which means less time spent staring at a spinner and more time for interacting with your readers and creating content.

Of course, if you're a Jetpack user, you can partake in the speedy stats goodness on your WordPress.com stats page as well!

Toolbar Notifications

We've made your Toolbar Notifications faster to interact with also. Now you can navigate the Notifications menu from your keyboard.

Keys:

  • n : Open/Close the notifications menu (make sure you aren't currently typing in a text box first).
  • j / k (or up and down arrows) : Navigate through your notifications
  • r : Start replying to a comment notification.
  • a : Approve/Unapprove a comment.
  • s : Mark as Spam/Unspam a comment.
  • t : Trash/Untrash a comment.

If you're logged in, hit n now and try it out.
