Popup Domination’s Unnecessary Scripting!
Like Every Upside... There is a Downside to Popup Domination!
The Popup Domination Application is an Amazing, Versatile Money Making Tool, But it Can Slow Your Blog Page's Loading Time. With US being passionate, border-line obsessed with a fast loading site, We Have the Solution, READ ON!
To set the record straight, we DO, and always WILL highly recommend and endorse the Popup Domination 100%, any day of the week. But, because it is Sooooo flexible with the many color choices and other available options, it makes unnecessary scripting calls to the server that take place in the background while your page is loading, robbing your BLOG of precious seconds.
In a nutshell, “calls to the server” means that your site's scripting makes HTTP requests to gather information that is required to complete the look and feel of your website's page. This information is kept on the server where your site is hosted.
In the case of the Popup Domination light box, because of ALL the choices this application offers, the scripting is calling for IMAGES that are NOT being used for your finished popup window, storing the unused images in your computers cache (memory), yet at the same time taking the additional, unnecessary, crucial seconds to load!
Bravo to the Popup Domination Prodigy!
To break it down for you a little further, and send a Heart-Felt KUDOS to the genius behind the Popup Domination application, it comes with 7 gorgeous templates to choose from, with 13 color variations and many different combinations of elements to choose from.
IN defense of the creator, that would make 91 different CSS scripting files for the programmer to design. With that being an unrealistic request, he did however create a single CSS scripting file for each of the 7 templates, which will make a scripting server call for each and every optional colored element and variation of that template, whether it's being used for your finished popup window or not.
Below is an example of the Popup Domination calls to the server which in this case is 33. Numbers 19 through 52 are different variations of images... not all are needed. This particular test shown below through the help of the PingDom webmaster tool, took 3+ seconds to complete the Popup Domination scripting requests to finish the full page load.
This second PingDom screen-shot below is after we removed the extra, unnecessary scripting calls, bringing it down to only 6 server calls for our Popup Domination application, which is saving precious downloading time.
You can also follow the link to see the actual test for our blog which is archived in the database at PingDom.com: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/?url=http://seoblogtips.com/ Once the test page has loaded, click on the button in the gray bar "Show Link Hierarchy" which will cluster the 'like' server calls together.
If you would like to get a better look at the loading times of those 6 images, click on the drop down menu in the gray bar next to the "Sort By:" wording, click on the "File Type" which will move the image server calls down to the bottom... the numbers you see there at the bottom are rated in seconds for loading the page.
Don't let the length of the bars between the two screen shots fool you, the graph area is set on a sliding scale, so the shorter loading times of your page, the longer the bar will spread across the graph to show a more precise reading... visa versa if your page takes 10 seconds to load.
Considering that the scripting calls load in a particular order depending on your site, the first image started loading at the 1.95 second mark, with the last image finishing its loading at the 2.7 second mark, for a grand total of .75 of a second to load the 6 images... not even a full second for the Popup Domination application to fully load... NOW That's FAST!
IF you have the Popup Domination, how SLOW is your site loading?
HERE'S Something to think about... if 6 images take 3/4 of a second to load, how may seconds would it take for 30 similar images to load on the average? We come up with 3.75 seconds, how about you?

NOW that we have talked about all the additional, unnecessary calls to the server, we need to fill you in on a FACT! If you haven’t heard, Google uses your site’s page loading speed in its search-engine algorithm.
According to Google, having a faster loading site creates a more user-friendly website for your readers, which in turn, will also give you a leg up on your competition for higher rankings on the search-engine results pages.
Here are a few words straight from the Google horse’s mouth:
- “You may have heard that here at Google we're obsessed with speed… At Google, we've gathered hard data to reinforce our intuition that "speed matters" on the Internet.”
- “Users place a lot of value in speed — that's why we've decided to take site speed into account in our search rankings… Faster sites create happy users!”
- “Speed as perceived by the end user is driven by multiple factors, including how fast results are returned and how long it takes a browser to display the content.”
Blogs are already known for slow loading times due to all the background scripts that are needed to run the blog.
Those blogs that are using the Popup Domination and are on Shared Hosting Plan (98% of you out there), your site's downloading time will be affected by an additional (due to the unnecessary scripting server calls) 1.5 to 3 loading time seconds. During high server traffic times, like rush hour in a big city, your additional loading times for the popup could increase or double.
OK... HERE'S YOUR TEST... If you already have Popup Domination, use the PingDom.com webmaster tool to test your sites loading time. Once at the PingDom website, type or paste your website address in to the box, then click the 'Test Now' button. Once the testing is complete, scroll down just a little bit and click on the button in the gray bar that says “Show Link Hierarchy”… this will offset the calls into related clusters.
Now, scroll down the page looking on the right side where the links are and find the words “popup-domination” in the link next to the little tan image that says “CSS”. All the links below that tan little image until the offset breaks again are the scripting calls to the server for your Popup Domination application.
If you would like to see how long your page took to load, scroll down towards the bottom and on the left side is a gray box with your Website Information.
