# Performance improvements for the Storefront API product collections

Querying a product's collections is now faster because we've optimized how we build the connection between a product and its collections.

Since this is a new way of building out connections and their associated cursors, you won't be able to use a cursor from a previous version of the API. Use the same workflow as today with the `2020-01` API version to unlock these performance gains.
