Question: Why read the CMS at build time instead of on every request?
Answer: A builder's website changes a few times a week, and far more people read it than edit it. At build time the page comes out static, fast and independent of the Portal being up; publishing in the CMS fires a Deploy Hook, so the delay between saving and seeing it live is one build. And when the CMS does not have a field yet, the site falls back to bundled local content instead of rendering a hole.
