OnLoad is one of the most powerful functions in an Ajax based application. With this function developers could easily render other functions which enables asynchronous streaming of data. OnLoad also have the ability to target specific areas in the webpage so that each window will be working independently which further enhances the interactivity of an Ajax based website. What makes OnLoad even more powerful is the ability of the function to interact not only with the server but also with the user as well. Developers could point different functions if OnLoad is optimized in the website.

One could say that even the smallest thing in any application could mean so much for their users. For example, the option for “print this” in a webpage is very easy for any web developer but it could mean an easy interaction with the material with the user. It doesn’t take that much bandwidth, the coding is easier and you’ll be sure that the user will have as much option as they can in your website. This situation is the same with the Ajax application. Developers exhausted as many options that they can to ensure that the application will work faster while maintaining its functionality.

Post-load script maybe one of the most challenging tasks for developers especially those that use a framework for building an Ajax application. In a framework setting, developers will always work in a setting wherein JavaScript is involved. When post load happens, developers will be limited in their functions since the functions may need to run without the help of JavaScript. Without the proper coding, developers might slow down the process instead of speeding them up since asynchronous streaming of information is not there because JavaScript is not used.

There are hundreds of frameworks out there that are aimed in helping developers who are not familiar with JavaScript to build an Ajax based application. Some of these frameworks are just drag and drop so you won’t even have to sweat so much in building an Ajax based website. These frameworks are free and with any language that you fancy, Ajax has the corresponding frameworks that you can use. With the use of frameworks, Ajax development becomes an easy task. The core of every framework is still JavaScript. Most of the frameworks just translate the original coding into JavaScript so that Ajax could be created.

Building an Ajax based applications is mostly difficult due to the fact that codes are usually rendered longer. Because different web developments are used in building an Ajax based applications, developers have to combine these codes so that they can achieve the asynchronous function of Ajax. If the web browser is not updated and the client’s bandwidth is not strong, these long codes in Ajax will never be read. The result is an online application that freezes before it is completely loaded. Also part of the “freezing” problem in Ajax applications is the parsing of the codes. If the application could be loaded successfully in the client’s browser, parsing takes over so that information will be slowly loaded as requested by the user.

One of the concerns developers will always face in building Ajax based applications using frameworks are the libraries. There are hundreds of them available online and most of them are free to download and could be used in your website. These libraries could be loaded in your server and will be used to create calls so that data could be loaded to the client side. That setting seemed to be very innocent but when you exploit the functions of these libraries, you will face a very big problem which is possible even for everyday use in a website

Profilers are simple tools that could be plugged into the application so that developers will have performance data of their application. These are non-obtrusive to the application as the server and the client relationship is independently observed by the profiler. The importance of this tool become clearer when web based applications and websites started to come out with very long codes. Profilers could easily monitor the performance of these codes.

Object instantiation is important for Ajax since it increases the loading time of its functions. Developers have to work with objects most of the time since the objects should be able to determine the behavior of the functions as well as its performance. However, the number of objects in an Ajax application will never mean that the function will work faster. There are certain tricks that the developer could do to ensure that the objects will work for the optimization of the application instead of being a burden.

Latency in the client side should be reduced or even prevented as possible. More often than not, users will have to deal with latency because of different factors. It could be on the bandwidth of the user, the server problem or just the coding of the application. Any of these factors could be the cause of latency. However, the first two factors could be easily optimized since it is just the hardware or bandwidth requirement of the user and the server. On the other hand, coding of the application especially on an Ajax based website is a little bit difficult to optimize to prevent further latency.

Optimizing files for Ajax is essential for building an Ajax based application. Every developer wants to their online application to be accessible to as many users as possible. By building a lightweight application, they ensure that any user – whether they are running with the highest bandwidth possible or just through dial up, could easily access their Ajax based website. Although websites could still run and be light without the file optimization, the interactivity and the aesthetic beauty of the website is just not there since so many things are sacrificed just to build an interactive and fully functional website. But with optimization, sacrificing user interaction for the sake of access will never happen.
