Storyline loading time on Thinkfiic

I've been uploading storyline files on Thinkific and on team review, I was told that some of the lessons take a long time to load. 

I have a theory for this, but I'm not sure if it's correct. I would appreciate it if anyone can help. 

I use Pararell on my mac, and I know that Articulate suggest uploading assets directly from files on Windows. I've been testing, and Storyline is not as slow if I use the assets directly from Windows. So that's one positive aspect, but, does that have any effect on final product loading time? I'm not sure how, but I want to know if this is the case. 


Also, is there a way to find out the location of every asset I uploaded to Storyline? 

 

Thanks a lot :)

    on the start storyline is loading

    • the web player
    • all fonts of the course
    • all screen text of the course
    • all menu infos
    • description of the first slide
    • all images of the first slide
    • all audios from the first slide
    • if there is a video on the first slide - first part of video
    • if everthing is started the "dot waiting animation" disappears

    for testing the start time - upload the course to Review 360 and test direct with your Mac

     

    you find the media in the subfolder of the publish folder

    ./story_content/
    • audio (.mp3)
    • video (.mp4)
    • 360° images (.png / .jpg)
    • svg images (.svg in .js)
    • captions (text in .js)
    • transcripts (text in .js)
    ./mobile/ 🡄 name is misleading (it's for desktop & mobile)
    • images (.png / .jpg / .gif)
    ./html5/data/js/
    • description of the slides (js)
    ./html5/data/css/output.min.css
    • all used fonts ...

    important: storyline don't uses the original filenames for publish and you can not see to which slide it belongs

    Is speed same on review and thinkific? Review doesn't have any authentication I presume thinkific does, and it maybe checking you are authorised to view every file instead of just the package. It shouldn't be a Mac/PC issue
