 This is useful when you have multiple `<Suspense/>` on the page, and one is more important than the other: think of a blog post and comments, or product information and reviews. It is _not_ useful if there’s only one `<Suspense/>`, or if every `<Suspense/>` reads from blocking resources. In those cases it is a slower form of `async` rendering.

+/// Leptos supports the following ways of rendering HTML that contains `async` data loaded

-/// 1. **Synchronous**: Serve an HTML shell that includes `fallback` for any `Suspense`. Load data on the client, replacing `fallback` once they're loaded.
+/// 1. **Synchronous** (use any mode except `Async`, don't depend on any resource): Serve an HTML shell that includes `fallback` for any `Suspense`. Load data on the client (using `create_local_resource`), replacing `fallback` once they're loaded.
 ///     - *Pros*: App shell appears very quickly: great TTFB (time to first byte).
 ///     - *Cons*: Resources load relatively slowly; you need to wait for JS + Wasm to load before even making a request.
-/// 2. **Out-of-order streaming**: Serve an HTML shell that includes `fallback` for any `Suspense`. Load data on the **server**, streaming it down to the client as it resolves, and streaming down HTML for `Suspense` nodes.
-///     - *Pros*: Combines the best of **synchronous** and **`async`**, with a very fast shell and resources that begin loading on the server.
+/// 2. **Out-of-order streaming** (`OutOfOrder`, the default): Serve an HTML shell that includes `fallback` for any `Suspense`. Load data on the **server**, streaming it down to the client as it resolves, and streaming down HTML for `Suspense` nodes.
+///     - *Pros*: Combines the best of **synchronous** and `Async`, with a very fast shell and resources that begin loading on the server.
 ///     - *Cons*: Requires JS for suspended fragments to appear in correct order. Weaker meta tag support when it depends on data that's under suspense (has already streamed down `<head>`)
-/// 3. **Partially-blocked out-of-order streaming**: Using `create_blocking_resource` with out-of-order streaming still sends fallbacks and relies on JavaScript to fill them in with the fragments.

 ///     - *Pros*: Does not require JS for HTML to appear in correct order.
