If you missed our newsletter yesterday you are probably not aware of a small announcement we made in it. We've pushed out a few updates to mobiReady.com, our mobile-readiness page testing tool. The most significant change is that you can now post markup directly to the service, instead of posting a URL for the service to visit and test.

Ready.mobi API update

ruadhan — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 12:50:38 +0000

We've just gone live with an new version of the ready.mobi API. (Full details and code samples here). So what's new in this version? The most notable feature in this version is the ability to post markup directly to the ready.mobi API without having to supply a publicly accessible URL to the service.

This is the result of some early feedback on the API that during the development cycle pages often did not have a public URL, and so they could not be tested with ready.mobi.

Fixit - Image Resizing

Images such as bitmaps have an intrinsic pixel size. Telling the browser in advance what the size is avoids it having to re-flow the page when it receives it. Resizing images at the server reduces the amount of data transferred and the amount of processing the client has to carry out to scale the image.
