Thank you. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/too-much-time-before-background-image-appears#post-97832 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:09:38 +0000 Devin 97832@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>You are talking about caching and it will happen if the site is visited a few times. I don't know of any code that will force it to be cached on the initial visit.</p> <p>Unless you want to re-code how the background image is added into the site, you'll need to live with the image being set as a single slideshow image. Though I don't think you'll get any performance increase by hard coding it as a background image over it being a list item. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/too-much-time-before-background-image-appears#post-97695 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 18:32:08 +0000 zinocb73 97695@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I'd like to put the background slider off and simply see attached background picture : isn't there any way to do that with the .js scripts ?</p> <p>This way, we could avoid or at least, minimize appearance of the background color before background picture. Thanks for your help </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/too-much-time-before-background-image-appears#post-97640 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:44:16 +0000 zinocb73 97640@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>OK. But when a page has been visited, why the picture still loads each time we visit it ?<br /> On some websites, there's a loading time the first time you visit a page and then you get it immediatly when you go back to the page. Can you explain to me why it's different with your theme ?</p> <p>Is there any way to avoid that in the javascript code ?</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/too-much-time-before-background-image-appears#post-97499 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 19:18:34 +0000 Devin 97499@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi zinocb73,</p> <p>That background image is far too large to expect anything else. You should aim for something around 100kb if you want to try and eliminate any kind of a delay.</p> <p>Outside of that, there really isn't anything we can do since the loading is entirely dependent on the image size and how fast it gets served from the host to the user.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/too-much-time-before-background-image-appears#post-97406 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 11:57:46 +0000 zinocb73 97406@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I'm already using super cache and I reduced images' size ;(</p> <p>maybe there's a setting in super cache that I missed and it would improve situation ? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/too-much-time-before-background-image-appears#post-97401 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 11:24:55 +0000 Ismael 97401@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>You can use caching plugin to help with the loading time. Try these </p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/</a><br /> <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/</a></p> <p>Of course compressing the images to a much smaller size will help too.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Ismael </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/too-much-time-before-background-image-appears#post-97395 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 09:41:36 +0000 zinocb73 97395@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I've used Flashlight for my client project : <a href="http://s447798222.onlinehome.fr/" rel="nofollow">http://s447798222.onlinehome.fr/</a></p> <p>My client is not happy about the delay between appearance of the page and appearance of the background image : we see grey background for several seconds before background image arrives (it depends on the browser and the computer of course) .<br /> I tried to reduce size and weight of my pictures : it's better but not fine anyway</p> <p>Is there any way to improve this situation ? Please help me because my client is annoying me with that ;)</p> <p>And another bug : on home page, on ipad, content disappears after loading. Any idea ?</p> <p>Thanks for the help and your solidarity ;) </p>
