How to reduce http connections to improve user experience

After Google jumped to Hong Kong, it was very unstable. Currently, it is used most easily. Youdao's search results are the most similar to Google's, making it easier to use them. However, Youdao has a few unpleasant points, hoping Youdao can improve user experience (excluding search quality ).

1. The default background of the homepage is not a blank background. The search engine tutorial is about speed, and the image background with KB is opened by default. What I cannot think of is that there are no blank background options for the options of custom background! If you are pursuing personalized users, you can set them on the "personalized homepage.

In this way, the product design will be younger, and part of the high-end users of the product will undoubtedly be forced away, which is no good for the development of Youdao.

 

2. The code orchestration on the Youdao homepage is not excellent. The code size is 2.6 kb, Baidu is 1.8 KB, and Google is 4.1 KB. Compared with the source code, although pure code is not the largest, there is no simplified code (space, lengthy), apparently not considering the use of search engines in a very bad network environment, this tiny speed (user experience) gap determines the user's choice.

 

3. As you can see, opening a webpage will produce HTTP requests for loading images, FLASH, JS scripts, or CSS files. The excessive number of HTTP requests seriously affects the webpage loading speed. Compare the HTTP requests of Baidu and Google, as shown in the following figure:

 

 

 

From the above data, we can see that there are seven more HTTP requests than Baidu Google!

We hope that you will consider writing CSS and JS code directly to the page, instead of using the external form, reducing the number of HTTP requests and optimizing the open speed.

4. Can I not force users. Every holiday or activity, the default homepage of Youdao will be displayed on the whole screen. For example, the last "Earth Hour" event.

 

Although Youdao's starting point is good, but the entire screen is changed, the user gap is really great. Because you don't know how users feel when using products. Good mood, may feel so cool; bad mood, may feel so annoying. You can refer to the practices of Google and Baidu, and only add a hyperlink to the Logo or homepage. If you are appreciated, your search is not affected.
