What a slow system!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago, I created the perfect InSite page. It literally had everything on it, from an overview of each process to a button. It took days of work to create the InSite page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the result?
Waiting 10 seconds for the page to load... The performance was not good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had I done something wrong?
No, of course not! Blaming AFAS in particular and cursing the speed of InSite. Justified? Obviously not, of course. You can read more about that here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I expect you to do better than me. I'm sure you don't have a page with a 10-second loading time.
But I'm sure your InSite is much slower than it needs to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the logical thought is always: what a slow system! 
And then forget about it until you need to reload InSite. A recurring frustration that you do nothing about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you're missing out on a great opportunity there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just think back to a PowerPoint presentation that froze when you opened it.
Was PowerPoint not working? Or did it happen to contain images or videos that were too large? There's your answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

InSite is no different.
An empty InSite page loads instantly. A poorly laid-out page does not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what is inconvenient? You can read about it here, with the result that you will soon be speeding up your InSite pages by at least 300%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which components affect the speed of InSite?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The basic rule is: the more data in InSite, the longer it takes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less = More speed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first simple step is therefore: remove or reduce what you do not use or use very little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, there are two main components that you need to set up properly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Overviews<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Banners<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Below is a concrete action list for the optimal design of overviews and banners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Making overviews faster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    All data is contained in overviews. These range from task lists to lists of employees. Please note the following regarding these overviews:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
