affiliate assigned button cart click code current experience file function happy help href image inside issue link links merchant necessarily number page perfectly pro problem problems products regard resolve sales setting shopping site stream target text thank-you total tyson view wait website

Hi, I am curious if anyone else experiences this issue.

After setting up five products and testing my page with firebug my load time went from 2s to 15.5s using e-junkie.

External files from e-junkie total 13.67s of loading time before page is complete.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it due to inadequate server's at ejunkie or something else beyond my control?

We haven't seen any such problems from our end, but this thought experiment might fill-in the big picture some:

Picture a V shape, with your personal computer at the angle; one arm of the V might be very short and fairly direct (from your computer and ISP to your main site's server), whilst the other arm might be quite long and convoluted (from your computer/ISP to our servers) and having more opportunity for temporary or persistent interference or bottlenecks.

Now, consider that, while the above may be the case for your computer using your ISP, it would be different for any other computer and ISP; for instance, the V-arm from our office to our servers' datacenter is quite short and direct indeed, whilst the other V-arm from us to any given Merchant's site would likely be longer and more complex.

In other words, what you experience is largely a function of the potential differences in connectivity between any single node with regard to any two other nodes on the Internet; those differences are particular to the perspective as seen from your node, are not necessarily indicative of a general case that everyone else would experience the same way, and can change over time as Internet traffic and infrastructure changes.

All that said, you might look into this thread here about using your own button images, or even text links, to minimize the elements your site must draw from our server:

Yes I will definitely have to resolve this issue. I am in North America with a very fast internet connection. I would hate to see how long it would take someone else to load the website based on my current results.

- image on my own server will help however not much.

My main issue is with e-junkie .js files such as:
boxec7_enc.js x 3 @ 5s
box.js x 4 @ 19s

Can these JS files run from the server itself? It makes no sense to stream them every time a customer decides to visit a shopping cart. Wasted bandwidth on your part and making the shopper wait for the darn store to load.

Hi Tyson, I have another question about text links for you. We have an Affiliate who wants to use his affiliate link (assigned by e-junkie) inside an Acrobat PDF ...for both text links and also banner links. The PDF is all made up, but I cannot quite solve the problem of how to fit this link (using the link tool)in Acrobat PRO. It doesn't seem to have the functionality to add all that coding (or does it?) Do you have any idea how to use an e-junkie affiliate link in a PDF with Acrobat's link tool? If that is not possible, is there any workaround way to do it?? We want to make our affiliates happy and that would be a nice trick to learn. Here below is his affiliate link. I have subsituted XXXXX where his e-junkie number is. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!

@Degrama - For the JS file, you can simply replace https with http so the files get cached on the clients machine.

@Credit-Aid - You don't need to put all the HTML in the PDF .. just the link portion (https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=83529&c=ib&aff =XXXXX&ev=9885ebed57)

That change in code seems to work perfectly and our Affiliate is very happy. Brilliant! Now we have a co-branded e-book that our Affiliates can use as a sales tool. Thank you E-Junkie!
