Evergage Prevents Web Page Flicker Commonly Experienced with Alternative Personalization Technologies
Boston (PRWEB) November 12, 2014 -- Evergage, the market-leading provider of real-time web personalization, today announced that it has filed for a patent with the United States Patent Office for its Zero Flicker™ technology that completely eliminates website personalization flicker problems. The technology uniquely enables companies to personalize key elements of websites – such as homepage images or welcome banners – without slowing the page-load time or introducing the flicker effect typically caused by swapping out such elements.
Web page flicker problems arise when companies seek to personalize elements of the page – using client-side Javascript – for targeted visitors or users. The visitor’s browser loads the original content from the company’s content management system (CMS) or ecommerce platform. Then, a short time after the original content has loaded and displayed, the personalization solution replaces the original content with the updated content. This short amount of time, however, is often long enough for the human eye to notice, and the site appears to flicker.
The flicker issue prevents companies from personalizing their sites to the fullest because it damages the experience for the end-user. Using Evergage’s real-time web personalization platform, companies don’t have to choose between a static, non-personalized experience or a personalized but flickering or slow page-load experience. With Evergage, companies can create fully personalized experiences, and the Zero Flicker feature ensures a fast-loading, positive, professional experience every time.
“The whole point of personalization is to give the best experience to each person on your website or in your web application,” commented Karl Wirth, co-founder and CEO of Evergage. “But seeing the original experience and then having the personalized experience show up a moment later is not the best experience, and it holds many companies back because they don’t want to deliver such a jarring ‘flicker’ experience. With our patent-pending technology, we can completely eliminate this problem without slowing down the page load, and let brands deliver an optimized customer experience for each visitor, every time.”
“Flicker is a common problem with many of the web personalization solutions we evaluated. It’s disruptive, distracts the user and undermines the experience we insist on delivering to our customers and visitors,” said Brad Edmond, senior web marketing manager, Intuit QuickBase. “We want our website visitors to have confidence in our brand and our products, so we selected Evergage in part on the basis of the Zero Flicker feature and it’s working perfectly for us.”
Using Evergage’s technology, marketers are able to personalize the web experience for each and every visitor, and clients report achieving a 30 percent lift in conversions among audience segments targeted with personalization versus those that are not. Completely marketer driven, the Evergage real-time web personalization platform enables websites to take action on anonymous or logged-in user behavior in the moment, when it’s most useful for prompting the user to take the marketer’s desired action. Evergage currently has multiple patents pending for its technology based on its unique and comprehensive approach to personalization.
