What's new in this version:

Speed:
- Posts and pages feel faster, thanks to lazy-loaded images
- Images give your story a lot of impact, but they can sometimes make your site seem slow
- In WordPress 5.5, images wait to load until they’re just about to scroll into view. The technical term is ‘lazy loading'
- On mobile, lazy loading can also keep browsers from loading files meant for other devices. That can save your readers money on data — and help preserve battery life

Search:
- Say hello to your new sitemap
- WordPress sites work well with search engines
- Now, by default, WordPress 5.5 includes an XML sitemap that helps search engines discover your most important pages from the very minute you go live
- So more people will find your site sooner, giving you more time to engage, retain and convert them to subscribers, customers or whatever fits your definition of success

Accessibility:
- Every release adds improvements to the accessible publishing experience, and that remains true for WordPress 5.5
- Now you can copy links in media screens and modal dialogs with a button, instead of trying to highlight a line of text
- You can also move meta boxes with the keyboard, and edit images in WordPress with your assistive device, as it can read you the instructions in the image editor
