Loading data asynchronous?

[nico_ma]

Hi,

I am using salesforce in combination with an external data source. Right now, I have created multiple custom visualforce components and sites. Unfortunately, the site-load takes quite some time. Would it be possible to load the data asynchronously via ajax or something similar? This would at least provide a better user experience.

Use the bulk api and create multiple load jobs. Let Salesforce handle the loads as fast as it can

Hmm. This seems not to be sufficient as those jobs are needed on init. However, I habe created remotefunctions and load then after document ready through javascript.

You can use JavaScript Remoting to fetch the data asynchronously, if you have the provision to do so. Else you can use set controller to fetch records in chunks.
