    Iridescent & Myriad load the page before the full screen image

    Posted 9 years 3 months ago
    • In the new RT Templates, Iridescent & Myriad the page load before the full screen image...

      Only Chimera seem to load the full screen image first.

      Is this normal and/or is this controlable.

      Can you load video or html5 animation in those full screen sections ?

    • It's due to the sheer size of those fullscreen images that have to be downloaded. Gzip, cache and rokbooster will all help but no it's not controllable. Yes, you can put you own html5 animations or video in those positions if you want to (you will have to write the necessary code though and CSS too).

      You could have course use a plugin off JED to hide the site until totally loaded (e.g. http://extensions.joomla.org/profile/extension/core-enhancements/performance/inceptive-smooth-preloader ).

      Regards, Mark.

    • Thanks MrT for the infos & hints.

      Hum!, tricky if, as I am and probably most of site web builder are, you are really finecky on the “first visual”

      If this is not constant, I will not be able to use that type of template.


      I see that in those 3 templates the top big image seem to be a sprocket module
      Is this a real position that can be replace with any other module, slideshow or other ? — and if replace they will “Hide” the same way that with the sprocket module ?

      Do you think the fact that the menu in Chimera is hidden first make a difference because Chimera seem to be more stable when it come to show the image first and site second ?
