Boost Mode is a feature designed to improve the performance of your demos by reducing unnecessary artifacts on published demo pages. This helps speed up the browser’s load time, especially when navigating from one screen to the next.
When Boost Mode Helps Most
Demos that are most likely to see improvements include:
Large demos with many screens
Screens containing numerous elements
Boost Mode specifically targets performance issues related to converting screen data into HTML, which is often the most time-consuming step in rendering a demo.
How Demo Screens Load
Every screen is displayed in two steps:
Downloading the data – This includes fonts, images, colors, and CSS. This step accounts for roughly 20% of the load time.
Converting to HTML – This step takes about 80% of the load time and is where Boost Mode provides the most benefit.
How to Apply Boost Mode
Open your draft HTML Environment demo.
Click Publish or Republish in the top right hand corner.
Toggle Boost Mode on before publishing.
Your demo will now publish with Boost Mode enabled, improving the load speed for users.
Troubleshooting
After publishing, review your demo to ensure all screens render correctly.
