JavaScript: Overcome Slow Loading JavaScript On A Web Page

admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 06:20:15 +0000

Sometime a web page may load slowly due to loading a third party JavaScript source file from other domain. Most of the time, a web site comes with advertisement scripts or scripts for keep tracking visitors and these scripts are normally provided by third parties like Google Adsense, Statcounter, Amazon and etc. When these scripts’ loading speed is extremely slow, it blocks the whole page from loading.

One of the way to overcome the slow loading of JavaScript problems is to move the code that load the JavaScript file to the end of the website before the body tag. For example, . This is so that the browser can load and render the whole page and then only load and run the script.

But this does not actually solve most of the problem. This is because in most time, in most JavaScript, the programmers will use the document.write() method to render the HTML code at the position where the JavaScript is loaded. For example, if you move the source line that load aadvertisement to the bottom of the page and left the parameters on top, the advertisement will be loaded at the bottom of the page.

To solve this problem, we can implement a simple tricks with little JavaScript code. The idea is like this:

Put a empty div place holder at the place where you originally want to put and give it a unique name, let’s say ads1_ori.
Put a hidden div place holder at the bottom, put the scripts that load slowly inside the place hold and give it a unique name, let’s say ads1_new.
At bottom of the page, right before the body tag, write a few line of JavaScript code to load the HTML content from ads1_ori to ads1_new.

Example of implementation:

Lenovo Adds BIOS Option to Configure Ctrl and Fn Key Functions in Future ThinkPad Notebooks

admin — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:58:12 +0000

Typically, conventional keyboard buttons are arranged in such as way that Ctrl (Control) button stays at the most bottom left end with Fn (Function) button on its right. But Lenovo has designed it slightly different with both of their positions swapped and this small change may actually cause trouble for users especially those that being exposed to other brands before transitioning to Lenovo machine. So instead of trying to lock the computer using Ctrl + Alt + Delete buttons, you may mistakenly type Fn + Alt + Delete that activates nothing, that may cause inconvenience and inefficiency of your daily life. Good news now, the company hears consumers’ feedback and is currently working on BIOS fix that will add an option to allow users configuring both the buttons as inverted functions while keeping its keyboard buttons unchanged.

Some may curious how much would the giant laptop maker needs to spend in order to add the BIOS options by working with BIOS vendors such as AMI, Phoenix or respective vendors as compared to redesign the hardware keyboard layout. It seems to me that changing the keyboard button is much more simpler but nevertheless, the new option will definitely able to cater for all users including those that already get used to Lenovo keyboard as well as those that still prefer conventional keyboards. With only simple configuration in BIOS setup, users can choose whichever suit them especially when a same laptop is shared among multiple users that prefer different ways of typing experience.

However, the BIOS option will not be available for existing ThinkPad models, even though they should be feasible and compatible (with BIOS update) but will only be rolled out into upcoming Lenovo laptop series and so remember to ask for such feature if you are going to purchase a new ThinkPad soon.
