Slow background image loading. Avoid or not?

Get Help
1

App is built(functionality). Now I’m working on the UI which is the not so fun part with Adalo.

I’m adding an image background to a screen and I noticed that the content loads before the background img so you get a little flicker and it looks buggy. This is on a static about us screen with no dynamic/cms content at all.

Questions:

  1. Is this something that would potentially go away once the app is on the App Store? As I read in a few posts that performance is enhanced over there.
  2. Based on your experience: is using an image-background a performance hog for Adalo altogether?
  3. Is there a way to make the loading a bit longer (ms) but to get a few elements loaded before others - in this case the background image?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hey there @LuisNavarro

What is the size of the background image you are using? The larger the image, the longer it will take to load.

I would recommend compressing the image to fit the viewport of the screen (i.e., 375x667 pixels).

I tried this but unfortunately the image comes out very pixelated since it’s a png. I will try to find a workaround using a Lottie.

Thanks for the fast answer @Flawless !
