Does Wix use server side Templates or REST API with Javascript to build the front end?
Hi Matt,
If you need our help, please elaborate - what are you trying to do? How does the Wix architecture apply?
Hey Matt, I think it’s all built with duct tape. And believe me, the developers never REST.
Hey Guys, thanks for the responses. I’m asking because my site has a lot of embedded widgets that impact load time. i was wondering if there was a way to load the entire barebone site when the client first access the site, then populate the pages with the specific widgets when the client tries to access them… kind of like a REST API?
Without going into technical details, Wix is working hard on improving site load performance.
There already has been a significant improvement over the last few months and we’re still looking for ways to make sites load even faster.
Regarding the error you’re describing, perhaps consider initially loading the page with the widgets collapsed and revile them as the user scrolls down the page, using onViewportEnter ().
great idea! thanks
