Chapter 7. Tips and Tricks

In the previous chapter, we discussed the reasons why we should eliminate 404 errors and missing elements on our mobile website. Also, the developer should have an excellent knowledge of 300, 400, and 500 codes, and I have briefly explained these code types. Using a CDN is a superb method to boost your website, and it allows you to deliver your website content faster to the end-user. Managing third-party plugins in the proper way is really essential because it can make or break your website. I have explained the importance of opening and closing the connection and managing it properly; you can enhance the performance of your website as well as save bandwidth and battery power of the user's device.

We have discussed the benefits of offloading through Wi-Fi rather than using 3G, 4G, or HSPA for connectivity. Finally, I have explained how to manage screen rotation and why we should eliminate Flash file usage on mobile devices.
