How do I improve the performance of VoiceObjects Desktop for Web if icons seem to be reloaded upon every page refresh?

Symptoms

I am experiencing a slow VoiceObjects Desktop for Web that seems to be reloading icons permanently - especially when I move the mouse over the icons.

Resolution

Concept

Microsoft Internet Explorer caches elements of Web pages to improve performance. From time to time it checks for new versions of the respective original object. There is a configuration option that allows you to specify when to check for new versions.

Solution

Set checking for newer versions to automatic.

In your Internet Explorer, open the Tools menu and click Internet Options. In the Temporary Internet Files section on the General tab, click Settings. Make sure that the option Check for newer versions of stored pages is set to Automatically.

If the option is set to At every page access the browser checks each icon for updates upon every page refresh. As this is time-consuming especially via slow internet connections, this has significant impact on the speed of displaying an entire page.
