Avoid page blinking / flashing when loading a page ?

Post by Mich-adg »

Hi all,

i'm looking for a tip or solution to avoid page blinking when loading another page? Does anybody have tried to reduce or avoid the blinking? I heard that content loaded with ajax can be a solution, but what about changing the url in the adress bar? (need to display the new url of the loaded page).

Thanks for any help !

Ajax can be done, but leads to a lot of other issues, especially with SEO.

The best way to avoid flickering is to make sure everything that can be cached by the browser is cached, and that your site is optimized. Installing the PageSpeed or YSlow plugins makes this a breeze, as well as looking at the sample .htaccess file included with any cmsms install.
