It explains why and how SQLPage applications are often faster than equivalent applications written in other frameworks. ## Single-Sign-On Since SQLPage v0.20.3, SQLPage can natively make requests to external HTTP APIs with [the `fetch` function](/documentation.sql#fetch), which opens the door to many new possibilities. An example of this is the [**SSO demo**](https://github.com/sqlpage/SQLPage/tree/main/examples/single%20sign%20on), which demonstrates how to use SQLPage to authenticate users on a website using a third-party authentication service, such as Google, Facebook, an enterprise identity provider using [OIDC](https://openid.net/connect/), or an academic institution using [CAS](https://apereo.github.io/cas/). ## New architecture diagram The README of the SQLPage repository now includes a [clear yet detailed architecture diagram](https://github.com/sqlpage/SQLPage?tab=readme-ov-file#how-it-works).
