-## Fragment Caching
-
-Fragment caching is a [React on Rails Pro](https://www.shakacode.com/react-on-rails-pro) feature. Fragment caching is a **HUGE** performance booster for your apps. Use the `cached_react_component` and `cached_react_component_hash`. The API is the same as `react_component` and `react_component_hash`, but for 2 differences:
-
-1. The `cache_key` takes the same parameters as any Rails `cache` view helper.
-1. The **props** are passed via a block so that evaluation of the props is not done unless the cache is broken. Suppose you put your props calculation into some method called `some_slow_method_that_returns_props`:
-
-```ruby
-<%= cached_react_component("App", cache_key: [@user, @post], prerender: true) do
-  some_slow_method_that_returns_props
-end %>
-```
-
-Such fragment caching saves a ton of CPU work for your web server and greatly reduces the request time. It completely skips the evaluation costs of:
-
-1. Database calls to compute the props.
-2. Serialization the props values hash into a JSON string for evaluating JavaScript to server render.
-3. Costs associated with evaluating JavaScript from your Ruby code.
-4. Creating the HTML string containing the props and the server-rendered JavaScript code.
-
-Note, even without server rendering (without step 3 above), fragment caching is still effective.

+### Pro: Fragment Caching
+
+Fragment caching is a [React on Rails Pro](https://www.shakacode.com/react-on-rails-pro) feature. Fragment caching is a **HUGE** performance booster for your apps. Use the `cached_react_component` and `cached_react_component_hash`. The API is the same as `react_component` and `react_component_hash`, but for 2 differences:
+
+1. The `cache_key` takes the same parameters as any Rails `cache` view helper.
+1. The **props** are passed via a block so that evaluation of the props is not done unless the cache is broken. Suppose you put your props calculation into some method called `some_slow_method_that_returns_props`:
+
+```ruby
+<%= cached_react_component("App", cache_key: [@user, @post], prerender: true) do
+  some_slow_method_that_returns_props
+end %>
+```
+
+Such fragment caching saves CPU work for your web server and greatly reduces the request time. It completely skips the evaluation costs of:
+
+1. Database calls to compute the props.
+2. Serialization the props values hash into a JSON string for evaluating JavaScript to server render.
+3. Costs associated with evaluating JavaScript from your Ruby code.
+4. Creating the HTML string containing the props and the server-rendered JavaScript code.
+
+Note, even without server rendering (without step 3 above), fragment caching is still effective.
+
+### Pro: Integration with Node.js for Server Rendering
+
+Default server rendering is done by ExecJS. If you want to use a Node.js server for better performing server rendering, [email justin@shakacode.com](mailto:justin@shakacode.com). ShakaCode has built a premium Node rendering server that is part of [React on Rails Pro](https://www.shakacode.com/react-on-rails-pro).

 Note the organizational paradigm of "bundles". These are like application domains and are used for grouping your code into webpack bundles, in case you decide to create different bundles for deployment. This is also useful for separating out logical parts of your application. The concept is that each bundle will have it's own Redux store. If you have code that you want to reuse across bundles, including components and reducers, place them under `/client/app/lib`.
