  1. Enhancing Web Map Performance in ArcGIS Online Mary Long – Esri Nicholas Davis - Esri Wednesday, 29 Jun 2016, 12:30pm - 1:15pm Location: Demo Theater 12 - Technical Support

  2. Points to consider before creating the web map • Who will be using this web map? • What functionality do the users need? • What information is important? • How will the map or application be accessed? • What type of experience am I trying to convey?

  3. Case Study: Hurricane Awareness – Brunswick County, NC • Who will be using this web map? • Brunswick County citizens, schools and businesses • What functionality do the users need? • Find closest shelter locations quickly and recognize areas of high risk • What information is important? • Awareness of emergency shelter locations, areas of risk, and street locations • How will the map or application be accessed? • Available through a web browser, iOS or Android mobile device • What type of experience am I trying to convey? • Map needs to be simple, clear and easy for anyone to use Esri UC 2016 | Enhancing Web Map Performance in ArcGIS Online

  5. Pre-publishing considerations • Maximum number of records returned by the server • How many layers are in the map and do they fit together? • Are all the attributes in each layer necessary? • General rule: as the amount of data increases, the performance of the webmap can decreases.

  6. Complexity of the data • Complexity of feature geometry: consider using the Simplify Line or Simplify Polygon tool Complex Simplified Esri UC 2016 | Enhancing Web Map Performance in ArcGIS Online

  8. Post-publishing considerations • Set a Visible Scale Range: layers set to automatically display only within an appropriate range of map scales • Minimum Scale: the smallest desired map scale (i.e. 1:50,000) • Maximum Scale: the largest desired map scale (i.e. 1:2,000) • Use Bookmarks: an item you can save to a map providing a shortcut to a position in the map ArcGIS Online ArcGIS Desktop Esri UC 2016 | Enhancing Web Map Performance in ArcGIS Online

  10. Data Type Options Feature Service, Feature Collection, Tiled Service… • Feature Layer (Service) • Hosted feature layers support vector feature querying, visualization, and editing. • Performance Consideration • If possible, disable editing on your services • Remove all filters on your data • Feature Collection • Small amount of data, with only owner editing, added directly to the map • Performance Consideration • Does not need to be updated frequently • Is stored in the JSON of the web map Esri UC 2016 | Enhancing Web Map Performance in ArcGIS Online

  11. Data Type Options Feature Service, Feature Collection, Tiled Service… • Tiles hosted on ArcGIS Online support fast visualization of large datasets using pre-drawn map images, or tiles • Tile layers are most appropriate for vector or raster data that is read-only and intended for use as a basemap • Pre-Publishing Considerations: • What layers can be incorporated • Storage space • Full Extent of map • Convert Labels to Annotation • Create needed Tile Levels only Esri UC 2016 | Enhancing Web Map Performance in ArcGIS Online

  12. Methods for Creating Tiled Services • 1. Generate Tiles in ArcMap does not consume tile generation credits • Create Tile Package and upload to ArcGIS Online, then Publish Service • 2. Generate Tiles in ArcGIS Online consumes tile generation credits • Publish directly Tiles from ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro • Publish Feature Layer Map Tile Generation = 1 credit per 1,000 tiles generated Esri UC 2016 | Enhancing Web Map Performance in ArcGIS Online

  14. What type of experience am I trying to convey? • User-friendly • Fast • Informative • Data centric • Accessible • Focused • Functional • Relevant Esri UC 2016 | Enhancing Web Map Performance in ArcGIS Online

  15. Helpful Tool • Fiddler: is a free web debugging utility that helps capture HTTP(S) traffic. • Web Debugging • Performance Testing • HTTP/HTTPS Traffic Recording • Web Session Manipulation • Security Testing Esri UC 2016 | Enhancing Web Map Performance in ArcGIS Online

  16. Performance Improvements • Data source: • Reduce number of feature layers • Refine the feature attribute information • Minimize the number of records returned by the server • Set appropriate visible scale range • Simplify the feature geometry • Cache tiles • Web map configuration: • Set visible scale ranges • Create Bookmarks • Configure pop-ups • Add labels Esri UC 2016 | Enhancing Web Map Performance in ArcGIS Online
