In an effort to continually improve the security and performance of our Rayos platform, we are upgrading WordPress Core to version 5.5.3. The following changes will happen as a result of this update:

This means the browser only downloads images necessary for viewing the current screen and items further down the page are not loaded until needed. This creates an overall performance boost and gives pages the feeling of faster loading times.
Previously, WordPress contained additional functionality to make previous versions of jQuery more compatible. As part of an overall effort to reduce dependency on jQuery, the 5.5.3 version will no longer support backwards compatibility with jQuery 1.x versions. The last version of jQuery in the 1.x was released in 2016, so it is unlikely to affect existing websites. However, if you have a lot of custom jQuery functionality on your site, you may want to check if it has a requirement on jQuery 1.x and upgrade it if it does.
Some of our plugins need to be upgraded to work with the new version of WordPress. Highlights include:
