Hello Guys, I have created a site using jquery www.arc-max.com/cruisesearch/ the problem lies in the initial loading of the result page (the front page is a bit slow but that I can optimize that on my own) . I am using json to store the result set. The json file can get a bit bloated up anywhere between 200-400kb depending on the number of results . After optimizing the graphics and using gzip I have been able to reduce the load time to around 20 seconds depending on the number of results (this based on a first time load).
Since i am not that good at optimizing i wanted to know ... a) Can the jquery code or the json data be optimized further? is it a badly written code ? I know this is very subjective but i am sure there are things that could be done that i have no clue about ...so would like to show it to you guys who have had some experience in analyzing codes. b) is this possible and how ? to load two json object one with say 20 results the other with all the results including the first 20. Initially the first json object gets loaded (small file faster download hence faster loading of page) while the bigger file gets loaded in the background and once the user starts using the filter the data gets pulled in from the complete result file (the bigger file). Thanks for our help andy
