Hi! I’ve been learning WordPress a little over a year. I’ve been using a single page on my site along with ACF to store meta fields, which I then query in custom code. **Are options more optimized than querying a page’s meta fields** (to use across my site in various shortcodes)?
For example: I want to set a Reddit social link for my site that I can call at anytime (in code) when I need to display our official Reddit page. Right now I have that link set as a custom text field on my site’s “Settings” page, but would it be more efficient and optimized to just set the link as an option? That way I don’t have to use page by path -> page ID -> Social Link Meta Field. And instead it’s just get the option. Is there any considerable difference?

Global = options
Page/post specific = meta
