AI Blocks - Impact on Site Speed?

Hi there! Also loving the new AI blocks - glad to hear they’ll be improved on in the future. I was wondering if there is any impact on site speed when using these AI blocks?

Hey! Glad you’re liking generating your own blocks.

It’s important to pay attention to side performance when generating blocks. You’re right to call out that AI-generated code may not always be perfect. It can sometimes produce code that doesn’t fully meet accessibility or performance best practices. You’re responsible for reviewing, testing, and ensuring the generated block meets your standards and functions correctly.

Overall, it depends on what you’re generating. If you’re generating blocks to surface lots of high quality media assets that are loaded with animations, then there’s a higher likelihood that the generated block could use a review to ensure it meets your performance quality bar. For simpler display blocks, it shouldn’t be an issue.
