How to make my web application of Dial-up to run as its on DSL ?

  • Follow


i'm a web developer ,, and i'm asking about a case ...
if a customer asks me to develop a web application
and he tell me about one of his concerns .. that the application which
i will make will run for uses of his employee in his company ... and
they are using the dial-up connections in his company

and he needs his web application which i will create that will be
running on that dialup connection
to run smoothly as its running on a dsl connection ..
so the employees don't feel the slower of there connection (dial-up
connection)

I'm asking about what is the possible ways i can do in my code to
achieve that goal in the coding wise (development wise) not a in
designing the graphics of the application...

and thanx for your help .

The short answer is: don't waste your time.

The only way you can get comparable user throughput on a dial-up 
compared to DSL or whatever is to keep the site extremely simple to 
minimize network traffic. Minimizing network traffic is a basic site 
design problem, not a coding problem.

You can optimize your code for a month and it will probably have less 
impact than the dial-up/DSL delta in waiting for a single message 
packet. IOW, your code optimizations will save you microseconds while 
the dial-up vs. DSL delta is milliseconds. So the user will probably 
never notice the code optimizations.

Just stay away from eye candy and keep the app from being too chatty.  Of 
course, the too chatty thing is a good plan anyway, but most people seem to 
think they need huge, slow graphics.

Remember, it wasn't all that long ago when dial up was 110 baud, and 
"dedicated lines" were 1200 baud, and were shared by many users.  Pretty 
much all business apps were done that way.  But they did their job and 
nothing more ... no long drawn out menus with every possible choice, no 
flashy graphics or cutsey video clips, no little dogs running around the 
screen, just the facts.

Get a friend a baseball bat and have him watch over your shoulder.  Every 
time you type <img or some similar tag, have him whup you upside the head 
with the bat.  You'll learn ...

Keep your download size of the page as small as possible,
if you want two versions of the site, where the user can select
between them.. ok..
Try and use AJAX to minimize whole page reloads.
allow for browser caching
