Information embedded is mostly invisible to search engines

Most of the internet navigators speak of Flash internet functionality. Even after availability of suitable domain name, search engines perplex with.com,.net,.edu domains. Needless to say, if search engine are gatekeepers to World Wide Web, it is of supreme importance to maximize natural appearance of website on search engines. As nearly all search engines work on the mechanism of scanning information available on the web, processing it and bringing out the best possible matched relevant to what is searched.

Contrary to Flash, HTML are fined tuned kind of process text, with document title, headings, paragraphs and links which helps search engines in appropriate importance relevant to text elements.

Navigation is cumbersome and time taking

Any Flash website development company in India would lose its importance if it fails to meet requirements of smooth website functionality. Web analytics reports help professional calculate website visitor behavior and subsequent business performance.

There are two main kinds of web analytical tool. One is web server data base that used log files to keep track of site visitors and another is reporting tool that relies on JavaScript tags inserted in every page and downloadable object. These websites are not friendly to these analytical tools. Web server log oriented systems are able to track Flash object but fails to navigate with Flash object. Hence, if a website is embedded with several Splash page objects, analytics will be unresponsive.

On the other hand, Java Script based Web analysis in dependent on web developers inserting Java code in each page, mostly on site’s header and footer. Since, most of the navigation in such websites occurs with in the object, every page tagging solution works when each user action is tagged in an Action Script or the Java code. This flares up the cost and complexity as there is not referrer information available which makes navigation path complicated and cumbersome.

Lack of consistent cross platform

In other words, it is the openness and standardization of browser worldwide that has made internet universal. Flash breaks this universal standardization of platforms. Lately, the version 8 has not even released for the Linux platform, Splash page 8, 9 versions were not compatible with it.

Mobile users such as Apple’s iphone often struggle with such websites that can not be navigated on iphones and even on other handheld devices; the website looses its functionality. Conversion to HTML5 is recommended for smooth navigation of websites, as web apps, or Responsive. The above mentioned top three challenges compile challenges and drawbacks of Splash based websites.
