MENU CONTROL:
LIGHTER, FASTER PAGES
Starting with version 27, Menu controls are lighter by default,
compared to earlier versions.
The "Dynamic" option is no longer checked by default in the
7-tab window of the Menu control.
When a Menu control is used in a page template, it has a huge
impact on the weight of HTML pages. For lighter pages, make
sure this option is unchecked.
Benefit provided by this new feature of version 27:
