There is always a minor problem when it comes to preloading image on a website. Nobody really has a full solution for it. There are a lot of preloaders available, but most of the time they only display the words: “Loading page” or have an animated image that spins. Why can’t there be a nice loading bar of some kind?
I’ve gotten a few request on how to make a preloader, or people asking me how to get all the images of a web page and preload them (even the images in CSS).

This preloader has it all. Loading bar, custom animations and getting all images included in the web page.

Since the launch of the new looks, I’ve been getting some requests on how to make the puffing smoke effect that you can see in the header.

Caching data. If you are a developer you must have heard about it somewhere. Is it really that important? There is only one thing I can say to that: yes!
There are a lot of reasons why you should start caching data that has been calculated. The most common reason is to keep the owner of the data happy, saving him/her bandwidth and server capacity.

In this article I will be telling you how to cache data given from an external service, but can also be used to save local results.
