Ajax – A Squeeky Clean Website

Posted by Tim On September - 8 - 2009

Ajax, not the cleaner, the asynchronous JavaScript and XML, it is like viagra for your website. Pop in a little Ajax and your website is performing better and making your “visitors” happy. As with viagra you need to read the warning labels associated with Ajax.

Warning:

Ajax should be used in moderation. If your server maintains a full load for more than 4 hours as a result of using Ajax, you should consult a programmer immediately. Websites hosted on shared servers or those intending to move to a shared server should not use Ajax as this may cause complications during deployment.

Seriously though, over use of Ajax can cause a lot of load on your server if you are processing too many requests at the same time, often the requests that tax the server the most include database queries. Don’t get me wrong, I love Ajax and I think every site could put it to good use. This is why I am going to show you a few simple methods to implement it on your site to make your visitors time more enjoyable.
