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
