but we will work to fix the loading issue by adding an onload function to the script.

I really like the process that makes this fast on loading. Hope you guys have fun while improving!

ps: pls make the onload faster:)

i figured out the reason for slow reloading, it’s the script’s async attribute. it will soon be changed to defer.

68

fixed!

i know, that was fast!

I found a small glitch in the split-by-split comparison video where the styles break while loading for a couple of milliseconds before the styles load properly.

UPDATE: this only happens on external styles

How about adding fetch support to defresh to use modern technologies or does it already do that

Fetch isn’t supported on IE, might need to use a polyfill for that.

TL;DR So, I see it says it uses the history or the SE. so is it returning a 304.

Ajax works on all browsers, however, IE doesn’t have fetch, they use XMLHttpRequest and ActiveXObject.

exactly. thats why im using ajax

Ajax is a set of web development techniques using many web technologies on the client side to create asynchronous web applications. With Ajax, web applications can send and retrieve data from a server asynchronously without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page.

Ajax isn’t a specific tool (like for instance jquery) but techniques to do async requests. I can recommend you to just use the FetchAPI and polyfills for incompatible browsers. Using jQuery is just waste.

AJAX is a part of the JQuery package. So what are you using?

Mind you, you can do it, but I imagine you are using JQuery

jQuery implements AJAX, however, using fetch and fetch polyfills is also AJAX.
