Will Onvocado slow down my website?

At Onvocado, we know that every millisecond counts when it comes to site performance. That’s why our pop-up solution is built to be incredibly lean—often over three times smaller than the competition. In other words, you get a highly effective pop-up that won’t weigh down your site.

Why Size Matters

When it comes to website performance, even a few extra kilobytes can make a difference. Many pop-up solutions out there are bloated and can add several hundred kilobytes to your page load. We set out to change that.

Onvocado is engineered from the ground up to be as lightweight as possible. Our code is streamlined and efficient so that our pop-up does exactly what it needs to—engage your visitors—without compromising your site’s speed.

How Small is Onvocado?

• Ultra-Lightweight Design:
  While other pop-ups might be bulky and cumbersome, Onvocado is built with performance first. In fact, it’s often more than three times smaller than similar tools on the market. This means fewer bytes and faster load times.
• Minimal Impact on Load Times:
  Because our pop-up has such a small footprint, it loads quickly and asynchronously. It appears “when it can” rather than forcing your site to wait, ensuring your content remains front and center.

Some of the  Onvocado widgets come at a size of around 75KB. For reference, only this image below is 175KB:

What This Means for Your Website

• Lightning-Fast Loading:
  With its compact design, Onvocado loads in just milliseconds on nearly every connection. No one likes waiting, and neither do your visitors.
• Optimized for Conversions:
  A fast, responsive site keeps your visitors happy. Faster load times not only improve user experience but also boost conversion rates—so you get more engagement without sacrificing speed.
• Less Bandwidth Consumption:
  In a world where websites juggle hefty images and large JavaScript files (ranging from 50KB to several megabytes), Onvocado’s efficiency means you’re using far less bandwidth without losing any functionality.

Under the Hood

Here’s a peek at what makes Onvocado so speedy:

• Fast, Reliable Infrastructure:
  We run our servers on Amazon’s top-tier infrastructure and back it up with an enterprise-level database. This ensures that everything is as fast and reliable as possible.
• Advanced Compression and CDN:
  All of our JavaScript is compressed using Brotli, and we serve it through Cloudflare’s CDN. That means your pop-up data travels at lightning speed from server to visitor.
• Asynchronous Loading:
  Onvocado loads asynchronously so it never blocks your site’s critical content. Your page renders first, and our pop-up appears seamlessly once it’s ready.
• Smart Optimization Features:
  We also employ advanced techniques like font and element filtering, as well as tree shaking. This means that only the necessary styles and code required for the widget are loaded—eliminating any extra bloat and ensuring an even leaner footprint.

What About Browser Caching?

We purposely steer clear of aggressive browser caching for our JavaScript files. While caching can improve load times for static content, it could also mean that changes to Onvocado’s settings or events wouldn’t appear right away on your visitors’ devices. We want you to always see the latest version of Onvocado, so we serve our files directly from our servers.

In Summary

Onvocado is meticulously engineered to be one of the smallest pop-up solutions on the market—often more than three times smaller than competing products. This lightweight design, along with our robust infrastructure and smart loading strategies, means you get all the benefits of a pop-up without sacrificing your site’s speed.

Yes, you read that right: Onvocado is small, fast, and designed with your website’s performance in mind. Curious to learn more about our performance perks? Check out our “Less is more” blog post for additional insights.
