Hi,
I have a page which contains a RadMenu, RadGrid and RadScheduler and is taking a pretty big hit when being loaded - something close to 500 KBytes on first display so am trying RadCompression to improve this. I have followed the information in the link below:
but have a question about the options in the browsers section. Are the Hidden field method and session state method exclusive, or could I add both section to the browsers file? My problem is that using the hidden field method I'm still taking a fairly large hit of 256 K in the javascript on first load in the hidden field.
If I remove that and use session state, the Javascript obviously still has to be downloaded. Also doing some testing the session state method does not seem to have much impact at all on the bytes sent to the client.
Finally, because my Clients have a pretty slow intranet they are complaining of crashes and other problems when large pages are loading, and they are using IE6 and I'm not sure whether that benefits from RadCompression or not as googling around seems to indicate that compression does not work on IE6.
What would be the best recommendation in this circumstance, ie:
Very slow Intranet
IE6 as the browser and unwilling or unable to change
Sorry if this post is messy, but I'm getting a lot of pressure to speed up my application, and they do actually like the look of it so I do not want to strip out the Telerik controls.
