You can significantly improve the page loading times for HTML5 help centers by enabling Ajax loading. With this feature enabled, when you open a new topic in the published output, the browser will load only the content of the new topic, rather than every part of the web page (header, navigation features and more).
Ajax loading is available for HTML5 help centers only and you can enable it on an HTML5 help center layout. But note that if you enable Ajax loading, links in your content will not work when you view the content locally. But they will work as expected when you host your content on a web server.
-
Select Layout in the top menu.
Paligo displays a list of Layouts. The list is empty if there are no custom Layouts in your Paligo instance.
-
Select the Layout you want to update or Create a Layout.
Tip
You can copy the URL of the Layout Editor and paste it into a new tab in your browser. This can be useful if you frequently switch between your Paligo content and the Layout settings.
-
Select Search Engine in the sidebar.
-
Select General in the sidebar.
-
Select Enable to activate Ajax load content.
-
Select Save.
Note
There is a HTML5 Help Center Preloaded layout template that also provides fast page loading times. This layout also uses an Ajax variant, but it works offline without publishing to a web server. This type of layout can be useful for smaller outputs, where you provide your help center on a local computer. But it does not support all of the help center features.
If you have larger publications, with hundreds or thousands of pages, use the main HTML5 Help Center layout and enable ajax instead.
