Fyi Xara users and Xara software peeps.
I’d been complaining (to Xara tec support) about speed of the software (dog slow would be polite)
Following advice from Xara and also from a thread on here (thanks users) re practical website variants, I just knocked one of my website variants on the head.
I did have full screen + tablet + mobile, now I have full screen and mobile. I had to add some background tiling in on the mobile variant when viewed on a tablet but it’s very acceptable (I now see the mobile variant on my tablet)
But here’s the thing – I now have a massive increase in speed! Result – happy happy!
Would you believe that editing text on a Pentium 3556 1.7HGz 2MB cache with 8GB RAM (yes really) and a 1TB clean drive was dead slow with three variants – now it’s fast!
I can’t believe there is so much extra load with live text across 3 variants vs. 2.
Stay the hell away from three variant templates is my advice.
