We are facing a strange issue while loading the page content in the browser [all browsers], a white blank screen appears for few milli seconds before the actual content of the page which spoils the smooth navigation between pages.
I've tried enabling page caching, macro caching but no luck. How can I improve the page navigation without the flashing blank screen before loading the page content.
Appreciate your earliest response in this regard as we have deployed to live environment.
I agree with Rich, it's related to the loading of resources ... (nothing to do with Umbraco directly) ... things like moving your JavaScript references to the bottom of the HTML could help?
If you use a browser like Chrome or Firefox (with Firebug installed), then take a look at the Developer/Network tab/console, it will show you loading times for each resource. Once you've figured out your initial bottleneck, then install the YSlow plugin - this will recommend other improvements.
I've tried all the possibilities as per your suggestions. YSlow scored 85 overall. But still the site shows the blank flashing screen for few milliseconds.
Is there something to do with the number of macros tobe placed inside a template. Because in some templates we are using more than 10 macros to render the dynamic content.
I'm still scratching my head around to find the cause of the issue.
If you guys throw some light would be highly appreciated.
The macros you are talking about run server side, this means that get run *before* the html gets returned to the browser, therefore the problem you are experiencing has nothing to do with Umbraco or Umbraco macros.
I would take a copy of your rendered code (load the page in question in the browser and then save the html) then load this page and see if you get the same problem (this will take Umbraco completely out of your equation).
As you said I tried saving the page as HTML and loaded in the browser and its true. One of the JS file causing the issue and not with any of the umbraco framework.
Thanks again Rich for your valuable suggestions and you are life saver because my mind dint work to look at the simplest approach rather than going for hard.
Flashing blank screen before loading page [Urgent pls]

Hey,
This isn't an Umbraco issue, it's either a problem with your host or your mark up.
