It’s not you, it’s… just time: How to break up well with Advanced Custom Fields

UW IT Professional Conference

This talk covered how you can start building custom blocks instead of using ACF for custom fields.

In this talk, I go over:

  • The ACF data model, and why it can slow down your site at scale
  • Dynamic vs. Static blocks and when to use each
  • Custom block development options in PHP and JS
  • How and when to use attributes or post meta for your custom block
  • Removing legacy ACF rows in your database
