Themes - Guidance: Configuring Blocks for Optimal Page Performance

Editors configuring pages in PageBuilder have the ability to designate the content for every block, or can optimize their pages and processes by using automatic feeds. 

For example, an Editor can manually curate all of the top stories on the Home Page. This requires a data call for each story if the Editor uses single promo blocks for each story. However, the page could have better performance and require less updates if the Editor uses a feed-driven feature such as the Top Table List. This feature can be populated with a single call to a Collection.

Below is documentation that you should be familiar with configuring content on the blocks.
