# ComcastifyJS
With all this internet going around, sometimes you just want to experience the thrill of a long page load. Give your users the chance to enjoy a little slice of the future by slow loading your website's images with ComcastifyJS!

## Lets slow things down!
1. Include comcastify.js on your page, or use the latest version from our CDN:

```html

```

2. Prepare the images on your page on document ready (so images don't show up before the box):

```js
comcastifyjs.letsPrepareTheseImages();
```

3. Initialize comcastify on window load (so image sizes are properly calculated):

```js
comcastifyjs.fixMyImagesLoadingSoFast({
boxColor: '#123456',
loadMaxPercent: 0.75,
loadSpeed: 100,
loadIncrement: 5
});
```
4. Switch up parameters to change your experience:
* **elements** : A list of DOM elements to limit comcastification to.
* **boxColor** : The hex color for the box placed over images.
* **loadMaxPercent** : The max percentage of image to load. (0 to 1)
* **loadSpeed** : Time required to load your images to their max in ms.
* **loadIncrement** : Number of pixels to load each time the loadSpeed timer ticks.
* **randLoadIncrement**: Set to true to make load increment random, loadIncrement ignored in this case.
* **randomPause** : Probability of skipping a pass each time the loadSpeed timer ticks. (0 to 1)
* **progressiveJPEG** Set to true to enable progressive JPEG emulation
