Mitigate/Eliminate Browser Flashing with Simple Trick
Mitigate the browser flash between page navigation on your site
Introduction
This is a real quick tip for web developers:
I was working on a MVC5 web site, and changed to a theme with a dark background. I noticed that when I clicked a link that navigated to another page on the site, the entire browser window would flash a white background before rendering the new page.
I fixed this by moving all of the JavaScript loading to be the last thing in the body tag, and left all the CSS file loading at the top.
It was a simple fix to an annoying visual effect. It would be real nice if the MVC template was changed to reflect this paradigm.
