Talk: Main Page

== Slow load time ==
Paging [[User:Endilyn|Endilyn]] and [[User:HertzDevil|HertzDevil]]: The Hero Roster section on the main page takes a very long time to load because of how many images there are (497). We should try to keep the main page loading quite fast, because readers will generally close a slow loading page instead of wait the few seconds it might take. I tried to lazy-load this section, so it starts collapsed and you can display it by clicking a "show" button, but that did not work for reasons I am not entirely sure of. I also looked into turning those Face FC sprites into a spritesheet, so it only has to load one image, but that was not feasible because of the size of the resulting spritesheet. I'm wondering if either of you have any ideas for how we can get the load time for this page down. Thanks!

:I'm working on an update for the main page here: [[Fire Emblem Heroes Wiki:Sandbox/Main page]] (feel free to edit it). It still needs some work, but it will solve the HeroGrid issue as well. I'm not sure exactly what the replacement will be, but my idea so far is that it is replaced with lookup widget that makes queries or something of that nature. The growing amount of Heroes will make it infeasible to continue displaying all the Heroes at once. Alternatively, if I cannot think of a decent idea I will just remove the Hero grid and replace it with a link to [[Level 40 stats table]], as it is not very useful for its purpose of locating Heroes at all.
