PL-900 Practice Question: A Power Pages site is experiencing slow load…
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 choices
Why each option matters
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.
Modifying the fetch query in the Liquid template to include a filter (e.g., only active products) reduces the amount of data retrieved from Dataverse, directly addressing the performance issue caused by fetching all products. Option A (CDN) improves delivery of static assets, not dynamic query results. Option B (page caching) may help if the data doesn't change often, but it doesn't fix the underlying inefficiency of the query. Option C (out-of-the-box list component) still retrieves all data unless configured with a filter, so it does not guarantee improvement.
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.
