PageMaster

Sample Article Using PageMaster

This page is using the PageMaster and the Text/HTML module (FTB) that is the default text editor in DotNetNuke. By using PageMaster's dynamic resizing features, the same 1024x1365 pixel image, used above, is inserted in the page and resized to the same Cox pixels. The source image is the same image as the example above. It is still 318,626 bytes before resizing.

Now, right click on the image to the left and select 'Properties'. This image is now a very respectable 14,969 bytes. This is dynamic resizing. The image is resized before it leaves the server, not at the client. Only the dynamically resized image is downloaded to the clients browser. In this example, a healthy 95% bandwidth savings was achieved by this one image alone. Page load time will be greatly improved. Keeping your readers interest will be enhanced as they will not have the distraction of waiting for a slow page to load.

Text/HTML

Sample Article Using Standard Text/HTML Editor

Memphis Botanic_01.jpg This page is using the Text/HTML module (FTB) that is the default text editor in DotNetNuke. It is an extremely capable text editor with many fine features. One of those features is the ability to resize images as they are embedded within the text. There is one major drawback to this process. This image appears to be resized, however, the resizing is done after the entire image is first downloaded to the clients browser, then resized so that is is displayed at the specified dimensions.

Right click on the image to the left and select 'Properties'. Take note of the size of the image. The original image is 1024x1365 pixels and 318,626 bytes. The image after resizing to 170x226 pixels, is still 318,626 bytes.

This method of resizing images is inefficient at best.

Now take a look at the sample below and note the significant improvements.
