How Can A Preloader For Web Pages Built Using Drupal/php Be Built?
You can’t pre-load web pages.
Edit: That’s not pre-loading web pages. That’s loading them and using javascript to open the page content in a new window, which isn’t even close to being the same thing.
The difference of course, is that instead of your users having to wait 3 seconds between each page, they now have to wait (3 x Number of Pages in Your Site) before even being able to load the first page. Which kind of defeats the purpose of doing it – users will wait a couple seconds to load a page, but if the page they want takes 10+ seconds to load, you’ve already lost them.
Whereas the whole point of pre-loading is to be able to display a fully-loaded page to the user, while some other site content loads in the background – which, as I already said, cannot be done with web pages, and certainly isn’t accomplished by the code in that article you linked.
And it comes with the added bonus that your entire website will be broken for half your users, and all your pages open in new windows. Fantastic!
Quite clearly the author of that article isn’t a web developer.
