Optimization
For information about optimizing your project, see "Optimizing at the Project Level" on page 134.
Analytics
For information about enabling analytics for your projects, see "Adding Site Tracking" on page 374.
Export
You can choose to host your project on an external (to 5ml) Web server, for example Mobclix Ad Exchange. If you choose
to do so, then you should add the external host URL to the Host URL field, in the project Settings page, before you export
the project. Including the Host URL value allows 5ml to configure the project export file with all the necessary
configurations for the project to work external to the 5ml environment, as some functionality depends on the full URL
path. For example, the Mobclix SDK and Facebook image tags.

Manifest
The Manifest section, on the project Settings page, allows you to store project data (except audio and video files) on the
mobile device's offline cache. Offline caching can reduce the amount of project data to transfer as well as reduce the
project loading time. Once an asset is transferred it does not need to be transferred a second time. Select the Enable
offline application cache for this project checkbox to enable offline cache storage. As the mobile user interacts with the
project assets load (according to your optimization choices) and display in the project. The first time a project loads and
requests an asset to display it also copies the asset to the device's offline cache. The next time the project requires the
asset the project retrieves it from the device's offline cache. The assets remain in the offline cache even after the user
stops viewing the project, and the assets are available from the offline cache the next time the user interacts with the
project.
