How to prevent your Google background image from fading in slowly.
Google + slow loading = not worth having background images.
In trying to keep their homepage as minimal as possible, in December Google switched to fading in the home page links only on an event: moving your mouse or tabbing out of the search box. This was fine when the home page was only white, as it wasn’t taxing on computers to fade in on white.
Now that Google allows for custom image backgrounds (likely in response to how beautiful the Bing backgrounds are), the fading in process can be tedious, even using blazing-fast Chrome. I can only imagine what users using Internet Explorer 6 are going through: fading in images takes a lot of work and time!
This was annoying me, so I made a quick modification to my SEO Stylesheet (a Custom Stylesheet to display search results and no-follow nicely in Safari, IE and Firefox). This mod will make the image load solid, with no fading or resulting lag.
Introducing: the SEO Stylesheet for Safari, Firefox, Opera, and IE
Firefox gets all the cool toys
ArrayAs I’ve written before, Firefox SEO — not Safari — gets all the glory. One of the great things about Firefox is the Add-ons (plugins) that extend its functionality. For web developers and SEOs, it’s vital to easily see what rank your website has when doing searches. There are tons of Firefox SEO Add-ons, but I use the following Firefox SEO addons:
- SEO for Firefox – The best. Gives you all sorts of info about each listing. Invaluable.
- Google Preview – Get a Snaps.com-like screenshot of websites inline with your search
- GoogleEnhancer – Adds item numbers and favicons to Google search results
These add-ons make browsing much easier when you’re doing some SEO research. There are no cool Safari SEO Plugins (ask Google, it’s true), but I wasn’t satisfied…so I made my own (kinda).
I am pleased to announce the best Safari SEO plugin alternative.
