ACF 5.8.4 Release

Advanced Custom Fields version 5.8.4 is now available. This is an update for both our ACF and ACF PRO plugins, and we encourage you to update your sites as soon as possible.

🎉 New – Lazy Loading Relationship Fields

This update offers improved performance for Relationship fields by reducing the number of HTTP calls made on initial page load. Relationship fields will now use a lazy loading technique to delay the population of the field’s choices (left panel) until the field is visible within the browser view.
