Reducing sifr render times

I am using sifr for several items on this page: http://blueprint.staging.dante-studios.com/public/templates/home.php

Unfortunately, rendering seems to be very slow, does anyone have any idea how:

a) speed up the rendering process b) hide all "be sifr'd" elements until they are all ready?

Here are some tips:



  • The Flash movie highlights bold and italic and bold + italic glyphs. If you don't need them, they add extra weight to the movie. The same goes for other symbols.
  • You can get rid of all JavaScript comments in the file sifr-config

    .
  • Opacity transparency is not recommended as it is slightly heavier to render.
  • To improve the initial display, view the relationship
  • Try to load sIFR code before jQuery

Yes .. I have used sIFR many times and helped me so much. Visitors said that rendering is also very slow. I have one solution that changes to Cufon .

Cufon is more interesting because it doesn't use any browser plugins. Cufon, on the other hand, just needs JavaScript to be included. Just a suggestion;)

There is a performance limitation associated with SIFR. Unfortunately, the speed depends in part on the speed of the client computer. The only way to improve time is to reduce the use of SIFR or remove it altogether and use images to ensure the fonts look the way you want them to.

Also, make sure your font files only contain the letters you are using to reduce load times.
