 * Hi guys, can someone clearly tell me the difference between stretch section and
   full-width section and why would one use one over the other?
 * TIA,
 * Dave

 * Hi, Full-width section makes the section full via pure CSS and HTML, while the“
   stretch section” uses JS in order to cause force any section to take the full
   width of the page.
 * This feature is more forceful and will increase the page load speed a little 
   when active.
 * Hope this answer helps you.

 * Hi there and thanks fir your reply. So, you are saying using stretch section 
   rather than full width helps page load speeds? I am still a bit unclear as I 
   have read in a number of places that full width is the first choice and stretch
   only if you have to.

 * Really sorry, I was unclear with my response.
 * As you read in other places, the “stretch section” feature is only to be used
   when you really have to, since it uses js and starts loading after the CSS made
   section, thus increasing the page load *time* overall. (sorry for using the word
   speed incorrectly earlier)
