Single page app with high number of images working extremely slow on iOS8 safari/Webview
- by NikhilWanpal
We are working on a WebView (not WKWebView, yet) app, are are observing that the app runs extremely slow on iOS 8. The same app runs smooth on lower versions of OS like iOS7 and iOS6. So we tried it in safari on iOS8 and the performance is similar to iOS6 and 7.
The app is filled with images and many are high resolution. While trying to trace the issue (trial and error!) we reduced the sizes and resolutions of the images and the performance improved, but it is still not at par with versions 6 and 7.
We are unable to find any such issues reported elsewhere and are stuck. It would be great if we could get some pointers on this one.
