A Power Pages site is experiencing slow load times for a page that displays a list of products from a Dataverse table. The page uses a Liquid template with a fetch query that retrieves all products without filtering. Which change would most improve performance?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Modify the fetch query in the Liquid template to include a filter, such as only active products.
Option B is correct because adding a filter to the fetch query reduces the amount of data retrieved, which improves load times. Option A is wrong because the page caching settings in the Power Pages admin center cache the entire page, but if the data changes frequently, caching may not be appropriate. Option C is wrong because the out-of-the-box list component may still load all data. Option D is wrong because enabling CDN helps with static content, not dynamic data from Dataverse.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✗
Enable the content delivery network (CDN) for the site.
Why it's wrong here
CDN caches static assets, not dynamic Dataverse data.
✗
Adjust the page caching settings in the Power Pages admin center.
Why it's wrong here
Caching can help, but the main issue is the volume of data being fetched.
✗
Replace the Liquid template with the out-of-the-box list component.
Why it's wrong here
The list component may still load all records without filtering.
✓
Modify the fetch query in the Liquid template to include a filter, such as only active products.
Why this is correct
Filtering reduces the dataset returned, improving page load time.
