Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Freshdesk Messaging (formerly Freshchat) Facade

The Freshdesk Messaging widget loads more than 1.1 MB (gzipped) of JavaScript on page-load.

This facade (less than 1 KB gzipped) prevents Freshdesk's JavaScript from loading until the chat widget is hovered over saving your users a lot of bandwidth and substantially improving page-load times.

Comparison

| | Freshdesk Messaging JS | Freshdesk Messaging Facade | | --------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------------- | | Number of assets | 28 | 2 | | Page Complete | 6.3 s | 1.1 s | | Network Transfer size | 1097 KB | 1 KB |

How it works

A div with an inline SVG of the Freshdesk Messaging icon is displayed in the bottom corner - appearing just like the real thing. When a user hovers within 200 pixels of it loads the Freshdesk Messaging script. A simple animated icon is displayed as the script loads.

Quick start

Several quick start options are available:

  • Download the latest release
  • Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/coliff/freshdesk-messaging-facade.git
  • Install with npm npm install freshdesk-messaging-facade
  • Install with yarn yarn add freshdesk-messaging-facade
  • Install with Composer composer require coliff/freshdesk-messaging-facade

Usage

  1. Load the CSS and JS in your head:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/freshdesk-messaging-facade.min.css" media="screen">
    <script src="js/freshdesk-messaging-facade.min.js" type="module" async></script>
  2. Load the web component within your page:

    <freshdesk-messaging-facade id="freshdesk-messaging-facade" data-token="" data-siteid="" hidden>
      <div id="freshdesk-messaging-icon" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-label="Chat"></div>
    </freshdesk-messaging-facade>

    Add your 36-digit Freshdesk Messaging token to the data-token and your site's id to data-siteid.

    You can optionally add a data-host attribute to set the host of the widget. The default is https://wchat.freshchat.com.

FAQs

  • Q. How can I customize the chat widget's color?

    A. You can modify the background-color value of #freshdesk-messaging-icon.

  • Q. Can I load this from a CDN?

    A. Yep, it's available on JSDelivr.

  • Q. Does it work in IE 11?

    A. No, but you can easily load the standard Freshdesk Messaging widget and add the nomodule attribute to it as a fallback for legacy browsers. View Gist

Known Issues

  • Some content blockers on iOS may block the Freshdesk Messaging widget leading to the facade being non-functioning.
  • The Freshdesk Messaging widget and assets are large so it can take a couple of seconds for them to load.
