This post is talking about optimising Aljazeera.net website’s Front End to improve the performance more that % in speed. I’ve chosen this website because its one of the top websites in MENA and its ranked as 1,471 on Alexa globally.
Arabic web fonts are here
Because Arabic websites are lack of Arabic web Fonts, i have developed a website called FontFace.me to serve web fonts for Arabic language.
FontFace.me is a free service to use. I also have FontStatic.com domain to be the CDN to serve CSS and Font files.
Tips for Better Website Performance
I am here not talking about Server-side improvements. I am here talking about Front-End improvements that really affects the web page speed.
The time spent till the website is running on the client’s browser. If we analyze that time, we will get:
Request Time (in milliseconds)
Server Process Time, or response time (usually in milliseconds)
Downloading web page and files into browser (few to several seconds, depending on internet speed)
Rendering on browser.
Drag and Drop with jQuery for Touch Devices
In the last post: Drag and drop with HTML5, i explained how to drag and drop using HTML5 and Javascript (jQuery). I mentioned that touch devices such as iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, Samsung…. etc, does not support HTML5 Drag and Drop features.
Now, in this post, i want to explain how to make Drag and Drop possible for all devices. Before we start, you must know that it’s all about Javascript.. And i will use jQuery library while i am familiar with it and it simplifies writing javascript.
