Facts read from this source
-
Flicker definition Report an error
“Flicker is a visual artifact that renders for a site visitor as content loads. It's most often caused by switching (or hiding) a section of your native site content with content served via another front-end technology, such as Monetate.”
-
Flicker reduction methods Report an error
“Monetate tag–based implementation (front-end) Server-side integration (back-end)”
-
Tag types Report an error
“There are two types of tags available for a front-end Monetate implementation: The asynchronous tag The synchronous tag”
-
Masking tag support Report an error
“Only the synchronous tag supports content masking. During page load, masks are served in entry.js, which is not called by the asynchronous tag.”
-
Tag placement recommendation Report an error
“Monetate recommends that you use the synchronous tag in the <head> element of your page code in the highest priority possible.”
-
Masking css mechanism Report an error
“A content mask applies the style visibility: hidden; to the specified element selector(s). The CSS visibility property keeps the allotted area of the element in the page flow so that the layout doesn't noticeably shift as Monetate inserts alternate content.”
-
Masking selector limitations Report an error
“CSS selectors are the only elements that can be masked. Sizzle is not supported.”
-
Masking required actions Report an error
“You should mask any piece of native site content that will be hidden or replaced by content that Monetate serves as part of these actions: Hide actions Insert or replace image actions Insert or replace HTML actions”
-
Mask testing constraints Report an error
“you cannot test masks in Preview Mode. You must test them live on your site, and they take up to 30 minutes to cache after you activate an experience to become visible.”
-
Inspector tool Report an error
“The Monetate Inspector browser plug-in lets you easily determine which actions, targets, and events are running on any given page. Launch the tool on your site, click the Components tab, and then click Content Masking to view which element selectors have been masked on the page.”
-
Serverside flicker elimination Report an error
“A server-side integration is the best option for clients concerned with flicker. This back-end solution can completely eliminate flicker.”
-
Csm contact Report an error
“You can also consult your Customer Success Manager (CSM). Every client's site is structured differently, and you can discuss any technical specifics of your site with your CSM.”
-
Engine API Report an error
“See Getting Started with the Engine API in the Monetate Developer Hub for more information about server-side integration.”
