Tips, Expertise, Articles and Advice from the Pro's for Your Website or Blog to Succeed
Last year, I referred to a quote from the TV show ‘Better Call Saul’ in a blog, https://dzone.com/articles/perfection-is-the-enemy-of-perfectly-adequate-a-le to draw a parallel to building MVPs.
We have a new season out this year, and keeping it topical, here I am using another one of the quotes from the show as uttered by the iconic character Chuck McGill.
Nolan Lawson sparked some discussion when he described a noticeable shift away from single-page applications (SPAs):
Hip new frameworks like Astro, Qwik, and Elder.js are touting their MPA [multi-page application] with “0kB JavaScript by default.” Blog posts are making the rounds listing all the challenges with SPAs: history, focus management, scroll restoration, Cmd/Ctrl-click, memory leaks, etc. Gleeful potshots are being taken against SPAs.
I think what’s less discussed, though, is how the context has changed in recent years to give MPAs more of an upper hand against SPAs.
It seems a number of folks really clung to that first part because Nolan published a follow-up to clarify that SPAs are far from doomed:
[T]he point of my post wasn’t to bury SPAs and dance on their grave. I think SPAs are great, I’ve worked on many of them, and I think they have a bright future ahead of them. My main point was: if the only reason you’re using an SPA is because “it makes navigations faster,” then maybe it’s time to re-evaluate that.
And there’s good reason he says that. In fact, the first article specifically points to work being done on Shared Element Transitions. If they move forward, we’ll have an API for animating/transitioning/sizing/positioning elements on page entrance and exist. Jake Archibald demonstrated how it works at Google I/O 2022 and the video is a gem.
If you’re wondering how one page can transition into another, the browser takes screenshots of the outgoing page and the incoming page, then transitions between those. So, it’s not so much one page becoming another as much as it is the browser holding onto two images so it can animate one in while the other animates out. Jake says what’s happening behind the scene is a DOM structure is created out of pseudo-elements containing the page images:
<transition-container>
<image-wrapper>
<outgoing-image />
<incoming-image />
</>
</>We can “screenshot” a specific element if we want to isolate it and apply a different animation from the rest of the page:
.site-header {
page-transition-tag: site-header;
contain: paint;
}And we get pseudo-elements we can hook into and assign custom @keyframe animations:
<!-- ::page-transition=container(root) -->
<transition-container>
<!-- ::page-transition-image-wrapper(root) -->
<image-wrapper>
<!-- ::page-transition-outgoing-image(root) -->
<outgoing-image />
<!-- ::page-transition-incoming-image(root) -->
<incoming-image />
</>
</>Dang, that’s clever as heck!
It’s also proof in the pudding of just how much HTML, CSS, and JavaScript continue to evolve and improve. So much so that Jeremy Keith suggests it’s high time we re-evaluate our past judgment of some technologies:
If you weren’t aware of changes over the past few years, it would be easy to still think that single page apps offer some unique advantages that in fact no longer hold true. […] But developers remain suspicious, still prefering to trust third-party libraries over native browser features. They made a decision about those libraries in the past. They evaluated the state of browser support in the past. I wish they would re-evaluate those decisions.
The ingredients for SPAs specifically:
In recent years in particular it feels like the web has come on in leaps and bounds: service workers, native JavaScript APIs, and an astonishing boost in what you can do with CSS. Most important of all, the interoperability between browsers is getting better and better. Universal support for new web standards arrives at a faster rate than ever before.
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript: it’s still the best cocktail in town. Even if it takes a minute for it to catch up.

Do you want to add text on top of an image in WordPress?
A text overlay is a great way to provide some extra information about an image. It’s also a quick and easy way to create banners, headers, and even online advertisements.
In this article, we will show you how you can add text on top of an image in WordPress.
Images can make your WordPress website look more interesting and help to break up large paragraphs of text.
However, sometimes your images may need more explanation. For example, you might add text on top of an image to explain what the image shows and why you’ve added it to your post.
Many WordPress blogs also add text on top of an image to create eye-catching and informative banners and headers.
In this post we have three different ways to add text on top of an image in WordPress. If you prefer to jump straight to a particular method, then you can use the links below.
One way to add text on top of an image in WordPress is by using the Cover block. You can use this block to show any image, and then type text over the image. This makes the Cover block perfect for creating hero images, headers, and banners.
To add a Cover block to a page or post, simply click the plus (+) sign in the WordPress block editor.
You can now type in ‘Cover’ and select the right block when it appears.
By default, the Cover block has a placeholder image and some placeholder text.
To replace the default image, simply click to select the image. Once you’ve done that, click on the ‘Replace’ button.
If you want to use an image that’s already in your WordPress media library, then simply click on ‘Open Media Library.’ You can then choose an existing image.
If you want to upload a new image, then click on ‘Upload’ instead.
This opens a window where you can choose any file from your computer.
After you choose an image, you can use the block settings to create some interesting and eye-catching effects. For example, you can make the image fixed in place as the visitor scrolls the page, or add a color overlay to the image.
If you do use an overlay, then you can change its opacity by using the ‘Opacity’ slider. Opacity setting control the transparency of the background image.
When you’re happy with how the image looks, you’re ready to add some text.
By default, the Cover block has a Heading and a Paragraph block where you can add text on top of the image.
To add some text, simply click to select either the Heading or Paragraph block. Then, go ahead and type in the text that you want to use.
When you add text on top of an image, that text can sometimes be difficult to read. This is particularly true for any visitors who have poor vision. To learn more, please see our guide on how to improve accessibility on your WordPress site.
That being said, you may want to style your text so it’s easier to read.
If you’re working with a Heading block, then you can also try the different heading styles to see which one is easiest to read.
You can also help your text stand out by using a contrasting color.
To choose a different color, select the ‘Block’ tab in the right-hand menu. Then, go ahead and click on ‘Color’ to expand this section.
Once you’ve done that, click on ‘Text.’ This opens a popup where you can choose a new color for all the text in the block.
Typically, larger text is easier to read.
To make your text bigger, go ahead and click on the field next to ‘Size’ and then type a larger number into this field.
Once you’re happy with how your Cover block looks, you can publish or update your page as normal. Now if you visit your website you’ll see your text on top of the image.
The Cover block is great for creating banners and headers. However, you can also add text on top of a standard WordPress Image block.
To start, you’ll need to add an Image block to your page or post. To do this, simply click on the plus (+) sign in the WordPress block editor.
You can then type in ‘Image’ and select the right block to add it to your post.
You can then either upload an image from your computer, or click on Media Library to choose an image from the WordPress media library.
After choosing your image, you can change its focal point, add an overlay, and change the opacity following the same process described above.
You can also try the different ‘Fixed background’ and ‘Repeated background’ sliders to see what works best for your Image block.
When you’re happy with how your image looks, click on the ‘Add text over image’ button.
This adds an area where you can type in your text.
Depending on your image, visitors may struggle to read your text. Here, it may help to make the text bold or change its color following the same process described above.
You can also make your text bigger.
To do this, find the ‘Size’ section in the right-hand menu. You can then go ahead and click on the different numbers to make your text larger, or smaller.
When you’re happy with how your text and image look, click on Save Draft, Update, or Publish to save your changes.
The built-in WordPress blocks are a quick and easy way to add text on top of an image in WordPress. However, if you want the freedom to create completely custom page designs, then you’ll need a page builder plugin.
SeedProd is the best WordPress page builder plugin on the market. It allows you to add text on top of any image across your entire website.
Note: There is a free version of SeedProd, but for this guide we’ll use the Pro version since it has more features.
First, you need to install and activate the SeedProd plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Upon activation, you’ll need to enter your SeedProd license key. You can get this key by logging into your SeedProd account. Then, click on the ‘Downloads’ tab.
Once you’ve done that, you can copy the key in the ‘License key’ section.
You can now paste this key into your WordPress admin area by going to the SeedProd » Settings page.
Once you’re here, go ahead and paste your key into the ‘License key’ field.
Then you simply need to click on ‘Verify Key.’
After that, we’re going to head over to SeedProd » Landing Pages, and click on Add New Landing Page.
Your next task is choosing a template, which will be your page’s starting point. No matter what SeedProd template you choose, you can customize every part of the template to perfectly suit your website and branding.
If you prefer to start with a blank canvas, then you can click on Blank Template.
In all our images we’re using the Tasty Squeeze Page template, which is perfect for getting more subscriber campaigns.
Once you’ve found a template that you may want to use, hover your mouse over it. You can then click on the ‘Preview’ icon.
This will show a preview of the template.
If you’re happy with how this template looks, then go ahead and click on the ‘Choose This Template’ button.
In the ‘Page Name’ field, type in a name for the page.
By default, SeedProd will use this name as the page’s URL. If you want to change this automatically-created URL, then simply edit the text in the ‘Page URL’ field.
When you’re happy with the information you’ve entered, click on the ‘Save and Start Editing the Page’ button. This will open the template in SeedProd’s drag and drop editor.
In the left-hand menu, you’ll see all the blocks and sections that you can add to your page using drag and drop.
Unless you’re using the Blank Template, your SeedProd page will already have some blocks and sections. To edit any of this content, simply click to select the block or section.
SeedProd’s left-hand menu will now show all the settings you can use to customize this block or section. As you can see in the following image, if you click on a Headline block, then you can change the text that shows up in this block.
The easiest way to add text on top of an image is by using one of SeedProd’s ready-made Hero sections.
These sections have a placeholder background image, with some placeholder text added on top. You can simply replace the default background image and text with your own content.
To get started, click on the ‘Sections’ tab in SeedProd’s left-hand menu.
You can then click on ‘Hero’ to see all of the ready-made hero sections that you can add to your page.
To preview any of these section templates, simply hover over the template and then click on the magnifying glass icon.
To go ahead and add this hero section to your design, just click on ‘Choose This Section.’
Next, you’ll want to replace the template’s stock image with your own image. To do that, simply click on the stock image to select it.
Then, in SeedProd’s left-hand menu hover over the ‘Background Image’ preview until a trash can icon appears.
You can then go ahead and click on this icon to delete the placeholder image.
Next, click on ‘Use Your Own Image.’ You can then either choose an image from the WordPress media library, or use a stock image.
SeedProd gives you easy access to thousands of royalty free stock images. To take a look through SeedProd’s stock image library, click on ‘Use a Stock Image.’
In the search bar, type in a word or phase that describes the image you’re looking for and click on the ‘Search’ button.
SeedProd will now show all the stock images that match your search term.
When you find an image that you want to add to your design, simply give it a click.
Once you’ve added an image, you’re ready to replace the placeholder text.
To do this, click to select the text block. Then in the ‘Text’ area, simply type in the text that you want to use.
Some of SeedProd’s hero templates have extra content, such as call to action buttons.
Want to change this content? Then simply click to select the block and then make your changes in SeedProd’s left-hand menu.
Another option is to delete the block from the hero template.
To do this, simply click to select the block and then click on the trash can icon.
When you’re happy with your page design, you can click on the ‘Save’ button.
From here, you can choose to publish the page or save it as a template.

The post How to Add Text on Top of an Image in WordPress (3 Methods) first appeared on WPBeginner.
You’ve spent months putting together a great website design, crowd-pleasing content, and a business plan to bring it all together. You’ve focused on making the web design responsive to ensure that the widest audience of visitors can access your content. You’ve agonized over design patterns and usability. You’ve tested and retested the site for errors. Your operations team is ready to go. In short, you’ve done your due diligence in the areas of site design and delivery that you directly control. You’ve thought of everything… or have you?
Your website may be using more third-party services than you realize. These services use requests to external hosts (not servers you control) to deliver JavaScript framework libraries, custom fonts, advertising content, marketing analytics trackers, and more.
You may have a lean, agile, responsive site design only to find it gradually loaded down with more and more “extras” that are often put onto the site by marketing departments or business leaders who are not always thinking about website performance. You cannot always anticipate what you cannot control.
There are two big questions:
Even if you cannot prevent all third-party requests, web designers can make choices that will have an impact. In this article, we will review what third-party resource requests are, consider how impactful they can be to the user experience, and discuss common optimization strategies to reduce the impact on the user experience. By carefully considering how third-party requests will fit into your website during the design stage, you can avoid the most significant negative impacts.
What Are Third-Party Services?In order to understand third-party services, it may be easier to start with your own website content. Any resource (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, image, font, etc.) that you host and serve from your own domain(s) is called a “first-party” resource. You have control over what these resources are. All other requests that happen when visitors load your pages can be attributed to other parties.
Every major website on the Internet today relies — to some degree — on third-party services. The third-party in this case is someone (usually another commercial enterprise) other than you and your site visitors. In this case, we are not going to be talking about infrastructure services, such as a cloud computing platform like Microsoft Azure or a content distribution network like Akamai. Many websites use these services to deploy and run their businesses and understanding how they impact the user experience is important.
In this article, however, we are going to focus on the third-party services that work their way into the design of your web pages. These third-party resource requests load in your visitor’s browser while your web page is loading, even if your visitors don’t realize it. They may be critical to site functionality, or they have been added as an afterthought, but all of them can potentially affect how fast users perceive your page load times.
The HTTP Archive tracks third-party usage across a large swath of all active websites on the Internet today. According to the Third Parties chapter of their 2021 Web Almanac report, “a staggering 94.4% of mobile sites and 94.1% of desktop sites use at least one third-party resource.” They also found out that “45.9% of requests on mobile and 45.1% of requests on desktop are third-party requests.”
As it was noted in the report, third-party services share a few characteristics, such as:
In other words, third-party services on your site are outsourced and operated by another party other than you. You have no direct control over where and how the requests are being hosted online. Many other websites may be using the same service, and the company that provides it must balance how to run their services to benefit all of their customers, not just you.
The upside to using third-party services on your site is that you do not need to develop everything you want to do yourself. In many cases, they can be super convenient to add or remove without having to push code changes to the site. The downside is that third-party requests can impact website visitors. Pages loaded up with dozens or hundreds of third-party calls can take longer to render or longer to become interactive.
While the earliest, simplest third-party services were simple 1x1 pixel images used for tracking visitors, almost all third-party requests today load JavaScript into the browser. And JavaScript can certainly make requests for additional network resources. If these follow-on requests are to a different host or service, you might think of them as “fourth-party services”. If the fourth-party service, in turn, makes a request to yet another domain, then you get “fifth-party service” requests, and so forth. Technically, all of them might be “third parties” in the sense that they are neither you (the “first party”) nor your site visitor (the “second party”), but I think it helps to understand that these services are even more removed from your direct control than the ones you work directly with.
The most common scenario I see where fourth-party requests come into play is in advertising services. If you serve ads on your website through an ad broker, you may not even know what service will finally deliver the ad image that gets displayed in the browser.
Feeling like this is a little bit out of control? There’s at least one other way that resource requests you have no direct control over can impact your visitors’ experience. Sometimes, the visitor’s browser itself can be the origin of network activity.
For example, users can install browser plugins to suggest coupon codes when they are shopping, to scan web pages for malware, to play games or message friends, or do any number of other things. These plugins can fire off “second-party” requests in the middle of your page load, and there is nothing you can do about it. Unlike third-party services, the best you can do is be aware of what these second-party services are, so you know what to ignore when troubleshooting problems.
As a discovery tool, request maps are great for identifying the source of third-party, fourth-party, fifth-party, etc., requests. They can also highlight very long redirection chains in your third-party traffic. Simon Hearne, an independent web performance consultant and one of the co-organizers of the London Web Performance Group, maintains an online Request Map tool that uses WebPageTest to get the data and Ghostery to visualize it.
In addition to the browser plugins mentioned above, users love to install ad blockers. While many are motivated simply by a desire to see fewer ads, ad blockers also often make web pages load faster. Maciej Kocemba published research findings from Opera that showed that a typical website with ads could be rendered 51% faster if the ads were blocked.
This is obviously a concern for any website owner that monetizes page impressions with ads. They may not realize it, but users may be motivated to block ads partly to deal with slow third-party and fourth-party resource requests that lead to frustrating experiences. Faster page loads may reduce the motivation to use ad blockers.
Poor performance of third-party services can have other business impacts even if your website does not use advertising. Researchers and major companies have been publishing case studies for years, proving that slower page load experiences impact business metrics, including conversion rate, revenue, bounce rate, and more.
No matter how valuable you think a particular third-party service is to your business, that benefit needs to be compared to the cost of lost visitor engagement. Can a fancy third-party custom font give your site a new look and feel? Yes. Will the conversion rate or session length go down slightly as users see slower page loads? Or will visitors find the new look and feel worth the wait?
How To Identify Problematic Third-Party Services On Your WebsiteIf you are like most websites, about half of the resource requests that load in your customers’ browsers — when they load a page from your website — are third-party requests. Identifying them should be straightforward.
To quantify the performance impact of third-party resource requests on the user experience, we need to start by measuring page load performance. Many web performance measurement tools can measure the network load times of individual resource requests, and others can measure the client-side impacts of JavaScript resource requests. You may find that no single tool will answer every performance question you have about third parties. These tools fall into several categories.
Some tools that can be helpful in evaluating the impact of third-party resource requests are what you might describe as auditing tools. The most popular, by far, is the Google Lighthouse report (available in Chrome Developer Tools) and Google’s Page Speed Insights. These tools generally work with data from a single page load but go into some greater depth on impact than the tools designed for ongoing monitoring.
Synthetic web performance measurements use scripts to visit one or more pages on your website from one or more probe locations. Much like a laboratory environment (and depending to some degree on the features offered by the particular tool), you have control over the variables of the measurement. You can adjust what browser is used, the kind of network connection to employ, the locations to test from, whether or not the browser’s cache is empty or full, how frequently to take the measurements, and more.
Because most of the variables remain fixed from one test run to the next, synthetic measurements are great for measuring the impact of change but less capable of accurately or comprehensively identifying real visitor experience. They are more of a benchmark than a true measurement of real user experience. Some of the popular synthetic measurement tools are WebPageTest, SiteSpeed.io, Splunk Synthetic Monitoring, and Dynatrace.
For a more comprehensive measurement of visitor experience, you need Real User Measurements (RUM). RUM systems embed a small JavaScript payload onto every page of your site. The code interacts with industry-standard APIs implemented by modern browsers to collect performance data, augments it with additional custom data collection, and transmits this very high-resolution data about the page as a whole and every resource request.
The data may have some limitations, though — the only data that can be collected is what the APIs support, and Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) restrictions in the browsers limit some details, especially around third-party resource requests. Some of the more popular RUM services are offered by Akamai, New Relic, Dynatrace, and AppDynamics.
Third-party resource requests can impact the user experience in several different ways, depending on whether they load early in the page load process or after the page is mostly complete. The risk you should be looking for with the measurement data you are collecting include:
Once you have identified potentially impactful third-party resource requests, measuring the specific performance impact of those requests can be challenging. Trying to separate the impact of a single request from all the others can be akin to trying to break down an alloy into its constituent metals because third-party requests are often made in parallel with first-party requests or third-party requests to other hosts, and they are competing with each other for the limited network, CPU, and memory resources of the client. Even with highly-detailed RUM or synthetic measurement data, it may not be practical.
The best way to approach the problem is through applied testing. Specifically, deliver pages with the third-party request or service as normal, and compare the performance to pages delivered without that particular third-party service but which are otherwise identical.
This is easiest to do with synthetic measurement tools. You can blackhole a particular domain so that the synthetic browser will never make the requests in the first place, simulating a page loading without that service on it. This can inform you about the performance (load times) impact of that third-party service. WebPageTest — a free synthetic measurement service (see the following three figures below for an example) — makes this easy.
A more sophisticated approach is to perform multivariate testing on your production site. In a multivariate test, you serve a version of the page with the third-party tag on it to one segment of your visitor population, and the other segment gets a version of the page without the third-party tag.
By using RUM tools, you can directly measure the real-world performance differences between the two test segments as well as the effects on business metrics (such as bounce rate, conversion or session length). Managing multivariate testing is a significant undertaking, but it can pay off in the long run.
Design OptimizationsOnce you have a baseline of your site performance and some tools to test the basic performance impact of key third-party resource requests, it is time to implement some strategies to mitigate the impact that third-party services can have on performance.
By far, the most impactful change you can make is to remove any obsolete, unused, or unnecessary third-party tags from your site. After all, no resource loads faster than not making a resource request at all. Ironically, this may also be the most challenging optimization to put into practice. In many organizations, third-party tags or services “belong” to a variety of stakeholders, and finding a way to manage them is as much a cultural challenge as a technical one. Some basic steps to take include:
If most of your visitors are in Europe, but a third-party service you are using is serving its resource content from the United States, those requests will likely have very slow load times as the traffic must cross an ocean each way. Some third-party services use a CDN of their own to ensure that they are serving requests from locations close to your visitors, but not all will do so. You may need to ensure that you are using appropriate hostnames or parameters in your requests. CDN Finder is a convenient tool to investigate which CDNs (if any) a third-party tag is using.
Blocking other resource requests from being made by the browser (often called “parser blocking”) is one of the most impactful (in a negative way) things a third-party resource can do. Historically, browsers have blocked while loading scripts to ensure that the page load experience is predictable. If scripts always load and evaluate in the same order, there are no surprises. The downside to this is that it takes longer to load the page.
Fortunately, identifying and blocking third-party script resources is relatively easy. Both WebPageTest and PageSpeed Insights (free-to-use tools) highlight resource requests that block other resource requests from being made. These tools work on one page (URL) at a time, so you will need to use them on a representative set of URLs to pick up all the blocking tags on your site.
Depending on how the third-party tag gets onto the page, you may be able to change a blocking script into a non-blocking script. Modern browsers support attributes to the script tag that gives the browser flexibility to load resources in a non-blocking manner. These are your basic options:
<script><script async><script defer>Another kind of blocking that can be impactful to the user experience is render-blocking. Cascading StyleSheets almost always block page render while they are being downloaded and evaluated because the browsers do not want to render content on the screen only to have to change how it looks partway through the page load. For this reason, best practice advice is to load CSS resources as early as you can in the page load, so the browser has all the information to render the page as soon as possible.
Third-party CSS requests are uncommon (mostly limited to custom font support), but if for some reason they are part of your site design, consider loading them directly through script tags in the base page HTML or through your CDN. Using a tag manager will just introduce additional delay in getting a critical resource into the browser as quickly as possible.
Like CSS, custom fonts are also render-blocking. Fonts can radically change the visual appearance of text, so browsers do not want to render text on the screen only to have a visually disruptive change mid-page load. Unlike CSS, I see far more sites using third-party resources for their custom fonts, with Google Fonts and Adobe Typekit being the most popular.
Some implementations of custom fonts also involve loading third-party CSS, which introduces additional render-blocking. The resource requests for these fonts (.woff, woff2, or .ttf files, usually) are also not always done early in the page load. This is a problem for performance and a potential single point of failure.
Here are some ideas for managing third-party custom fonts on your site:
One interesting approach to managing the performance impact of third parties is to move as many of them as possible to load via Web Workers. The core idea is to reserve the main thread in the browser for your first-party core scripts and let the browser manage and optimize your resource-intensive third-party scripts using Web Workers. Doing this is not trivial since Web Workers are limited to asynchronous communications with the main thread and many third-party scripts except synchronous access to browser resources, such as documents and windows.
A new open-source project called Partytown provides a library that implements a communications layer to make this work. It is still in the early stages of development, and you would want to test extensively for potential weird side effects. It might also not work well with a tag manager system if that’s a part of your architecture.
Akamai Script Management is a solution that uses Service Workers. This service essentially acts as a proxy inside the browser that has knowledge about the third-party services on the site and a policy about how to handle specific third-party requests. The policy can block requests for specific third parties, defer their request to later in the page load, or change the waiting time before throwing a timeout error for a request. If a third-party request is render blocking but that third-party service is down, for example, Script Management can mitigate the impact by reducing the length of time that the browser waits before deciding that the response is never going to arrive.
ConclusionThird-party resource requests have become an integral part of the web. These services can provide value to your business, but they do come at a potential cost to the user experience.
You need the right tools for detection and measurement and knowledge of the best practices that help reduce the negative impacts of third-party requests.
A great way to start managing the impacts of third-party requests on your site’s user experience is to audit your site to see which and how many third-party domains and requests are being used. Next, use performance measurement tools to identify those that have the potential to degrade the user experience through render-blocking, resource contention, or single points of failure.
As you apply changes to mitigate the impact of third parties, develop a plan to use ongoing testing (such as Real User Measurement Services) to keep on top of site changes and unexpected changes to your third-party services.
By carefully considering how third-party requests will fit into your site during the design stage, you can avoid the most significant negative impacts. With ongoing performance monitoring, you can ensure that new problems with third-party requests are identified early. Don’t sink your website with third parties!
