Good day all,
I am seeking informations about rendering a fluid site visit, I mean avoiding
the most possible "waiting time / loading animation". For an online shop
which will contain 4 "modules" on the same page :
* Long list menu with a window decorate image for every text link rollover
* manual carousel for the products , 3 products shown, one highlighted
* customizable items per product
* real-time preview with a zoom tool
At this step to resume about what I know with the basic analysis / technical
specification :
* Everything on the client side (Green card for full Ajaxx, no alternative
without javascript)
* The menu itself should be available as the document is ready. So I am
considering to preload the 50 hundred images maybe more
* About the other, I am considering to first launch the current product and
the items available for it only. Add a visual effect per images or images
group to avoid the rendering " slowly loading step by step pictures " (I mean
from a visitor point of view).
* After all of this, decide about the required library
I was just wondering about the methods to consider truely the problem ?
Reports, articles, advises, statistics or just web developer experiences are
welcome... to avoid the kernel panic junior webdev
I believed the discuss is more about testing and DOM and Ajaxx subjects so I
apologize for allowing myself to post to the two lists, Evolt and WSG.
Best regards,
