Wow, the background on that page takes forever to fill in on my iPhone 4. Like over a minute. And the whole Mobile Safari hangs for 30 seconds or so if I switch orientation, I think because it has to resize the massive background image to the changing screen width and the processor isn't up to it.
So I would be cautious of using this technique with huge images.
- chris_wot 15y agoAgreed! Potentially, you could be causing greater data charges/slower loading just because you have an iPad 3... Anyone know if there's a setting to turn these image loads off on an iPad 3?
- Hervetar 15y agoNo, you just have to assume that PNGs are not used and that JPGs are used instead. But we have so-called experts trying to lead the way now...
- caseyohara 15y agoYes, despite being quite small (878kb) the @2x background takes a while to load. We wouldn't recommend having a 2800×1867 retina background on your site, but for the sake of the demo we wanted to do some showing off.
