Ajax: Introduction and Advantages


Basically, the term AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. A set of technologies coming under this development environment is referred collectively as AJAX.  It represents a similar concept to the Client-server development, but here the amount of data transferred is minimized over a terminal application by transferring only the necessary data back and forth. Similarly, with AJAX, only the necessart data is transferred back and forth between the Client and the web server. This clear minimizes the network utilization and processing on the Client.
The main technical advantages of AJAX are as listed:
Ø  Minimal data transfer
Ø  AJAX allows asynchronous calls
Ø  Only limited processing on the server
Ø  High responsiveness
Ø  Rapid location of the context of the page
At SPEC INDIA, with the development of ASP.NET applications and websites, our developers make a very smart use of all the AJAX tools. The primary reason as always been to minimize the page loading time and hence to add to the speed of the website functioning.

What makes the ASP.NET websites slow?


With Christmas holidays approaching, almost all the Companies will wish their ASP.NET websites to be at the top of Google rankings, and have the minimal loading times. The speed of the website directly affects bounce ratese, conversion rates, revenue, user satisfaction, SEP and virtually every other business metric worth to be counted.

Here are some of the considerations that the ASP.NET developers should consider always to make the loading time of their webpage as faster as possible:
    Too many HTTP requests
    Minimal Client-side (front-end) processing
    Too many bytes
    Low number of parallel requests (separate query strings)
    Failure to use a global network
    Failure to influence the browser cache/local storage
    Third-party widgets and API integrations
and so on…

At SPEC INDIA, our well-trained team of ASP.NET developers always takes care to avoid these mistakes, because ultimately they hinder in conduction of the marketing activities of the website as a whole. For this, we keep the architecture of the websites very SEO friendly right from the beginning.
