Our average load time for the main edit design page with an empty browser cache was over 15 seconds, which is way too high.
This was because the browser was asked to load 110 images. One for each of the color schemes available. As we add new options such as background textures this was only going to greatly increase.
We now generate the popup menus via javascript to defer their loading until they are needed, creating a much better and scalable user experience. The main edit design page is now at least 3 times as fast to load and we’ve got even more optimizations coming soon.
All this work is going to make sure that Rush Tide is a lightning fast web page design experience for you.
Also we’ve added preview images to the background textures and will be adding texture options to the header and footer very soon.
Faster, Better, Cheaper
