Wallace and Gromit: 20th AnniversaryI did something extremely important yesterday. It took more than 6 hours of tempering with Mighty Optical Illusions source code, but the results have already proven themselves. You might ask “What was it? The website still looks perfectly identical!”. Well, in order to fully load the page previously, you had to wait for all the ads to load first, and only then the whole page was constructed in your browsers. This took some time, and many of you argued how the website is too slow. I made big changes yesterday, and now the website loads MUCH faster. Have you noticed this? I managed to place all the adds at the end of our HTML code, so now ads load separately only after the complete website is shown to you.

This means you get the content immediately, and you can proceed reading articles instantly, while the ads are still loading themselves in the sidebar. Hope some of you appreciate this. At least the impression count in my stats states so. With this move I have reduced my income significantly, but your satisfaction is still primary to me. I would just appreciate any kind of feedback, and please report any problems/glitches you might have noticed.

For the illusion of the day, this picture was spotted by Syed Ali (cool name dude!) on a major internet homepage. It was released in honor of Wallace and Gromit 20th anniversary. Except from showing two of the main characters, this picture contains additional subliminal message. If you “decipher” the message, you’ll quickly realize which major website used the pic. Happy hunting!

  6. Facebook User says:

    The objects on the table spell GOOGLE.
    PS the ads aren’t loading at all. Your trick didn’t work

  7. random says:

    It’s the google symbol, looks like the word ‘google’ for those with the major headaches – for example the lamp is the g, the teapot and magnifying glass the 2 os figure the rest out yourself

  8. ch says:

  17. ??? says:

    ok, I see how it works, but the letters are a little misshapen. It’s a bit of a stretch to say it spells that name.

  18. Reever54 says:

    This is so cool!! It says: GOOGLE for the ones that do not get it

  19. Morgen says:

    maybe your ads are the last to load, but they still popup with flash ads on top of the content. that stuff is just annoying and makes your site very unfriendly. I can’t see the illusion with an ad on top of it…
