To say we\u2019ve been busy is an understatement! From the beginning of 2021, our team has been grinding day in and day out to deliver the top-notch quality that you all know and love.<\/p>\n

As always, we\u2019ve taken your suggestions on board as best as we can. It’s incredibly important to us to make the time to hear each of our members and put their feedback into action.<\/p>\n

With that being said, we aren\u2019t always able to make every single wish come true. We may be akin to superheroes, but we aren\u2019t magicians!<\/p>\n

\"dev
Maybe we should keep the cape!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That\u2019s why these roundups can be super helpful. If you haven\u2019t seen your suggestion come to life yet, this should clear up any curiosity you may have about where we\u2019re headed and whether you can expect to see a certain feature pop up soon.<\/p>\n

Of course, you can always take a squiz at our ever-evolving Roadmap<\/a> for an up-to-date list of expected changes. But this roundup will also backtrack over the recent updates we\u2019ve made and highlight the best parts.<\/p>\n

Just to touch on a few: The Hub Client<\/a> has finally landed and we are beyond stoked! Not to mention the complete overhaul of Defender\u2019s<\/a> notifications and reports<\/a> system, Smartcrawl\u2019s stellar schema types builder tool<\/a>, as well as the brand new Plugin Health<\/a> feature in Hummingbird<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And this is just the beginning…<\/p>\n

Let’s kick it off with a note from WPMU DEV CEO, James<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"James\"<\/div>\n

“Check. Out. That. Scroll.<\/p>\n

Seriously, check it out, we\u2019ve done so much since our last quarterly roundup and have so much in the pipeline that this update is almost getting obnoxiously long!<\/p>\n

And for that, I am sorry. But for what it contains, I most certainly am not.<\/p>\n

Over the last 3-6 months the entire team here at WPMU DEV have absolutely knocked it out of the park. From our fantastic new PMs (*Product* Managers, ahem), incredibly talented devs (and DevOps and SysAdmins) and our really rather good designers.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s just product! While we get the vast number of our best reviews based on our rock star support team (we hit the best ranked host in TrustPilot last month, based largely on them!) and, of course, our writers who bring you this roundup that contains, basically, piles and piles of good stuff that you may have missed – so do that scroll – and sets us up for an epic rest-of-the-year.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say, if you are a freelancer, web developer, agency (of any size) or just look after WP sites for whoever and wherever, 2021 is going to be for you.<\/p>\n

If we don\u2019t have a vastly expanded set of tools that will allow you to create, develop and manage your own WP SaaS business by the end of the year, I\u2019ll eat my hat.<\/p>\n

And if we aren\u2019t also presenting you with a set of site management tools that knocks the stuffing out of anything that has come before and more than doubles the number of WP sites you can comfortably look after… I\u2019ll eat my socks too :D<\/p>\n

So, my endangered clothing besides, please dive in and – as ever – share any feedback in the comments section (which, incidentally, will now give you hero points that you can trade for free memberships… all the way up to lifetime!)”<\/p>\n

With that said, let\u2019s take a proper look at what\u2019s been going down at the DEV and what the coming months hold\u2026and may I just say that the future is looking rather sensational!<\/p>\n
