Long loading time between slides
I have 5 slides.
Each of them has a layout that belongs to the same master.
On the master itself there are quite a lot of objects (just one image, but about 70 rectangles), multiple JS and other triggers.
When I a user navigates to one of these slides there are 5-6 seconds until it opens.
I do not understand why this is happening, as there is not much to render?
How can I improve the loading time?

Hmm. I wonder if triggers in a master slide are causing some sort of delay. When I've used master slides it was for visual purposes and that worked without issues. Have you tried duplicating that master slide, removing the JS and triggers, and then basing a few slides on that to see what happens?
Hi,
that's a good point.
I did some tests:- removing all triggers does not change the behaviour
- removing all of those elements does not change the behaviour
So I tried removing some of the other elements, and it seems that a table (30 rows, 30 columns, different background-colors) is causing that delay.
I guess I'll try recreating that table in Illustrator and import it as SVG into Storyline, maybe this will do the trick. Thank you :-)
The delay here is most likely caused by a heavy master slide. Since all these shapes, triggers, and scripts are loaded every time the slide is opened. Try reducing the number of objects on the slide, combining elements into a single image, or simplifying the triggers will speed up the process.
