Slides Presentation Link load very slow! (Europe/Germany)

Hello,

I love Figma Slides, but I encounter massive loading issues with the Presentation Link, both on all my machines, using a guest account in Chome, as well as my clients (which is worse). It feels like that there is no page preloading in place as well as the CDN to provide the data is very slow/not optimized for Germany/Europe?

I already optimized all my Images with Downsize https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/869495400795251845
all all Videos with Handbrake before I upload them. 

The Slides should load instantly, but viewing them is a chore. It’s not anything I can send to clients confidently, as slides even load slower than a second for a single 1080 image!

This is urgent: The only alternative to provide Presentations with Videos to clients online is Microsoft Powerpoint online, but their Support for custom fonts is bad, and it adds up a lot of steps to export the pptx from figma, then upload it to Onedrive and share it from there. So this is not a viable alternative!

Hi ​@Gaschka, 

 

I understand that you’re experiencing significant loading issues when viewing your Figma Slides presentation link, including when accessed via guest accounts and by your clients.

 

I can see that you’ve already submitted a support request for this(#1696268), and that one of our Technical Quality specialists, Joann, has replied with some suggestions in your ticket.

When you have a moment, please take a look at her message in the ticket email.

 

For other community members who may come across this post with a similar issue, here’s a helpful insight shared by our team:

Images added to your file at a larger size than they’re displayed can consume a significant amount of memory and impact performance. You can check this by setting the Image Fill to Tile. If the image is much larger than needed, we recommend flattening it or exporting and re-adding it at the required size so only the necessary resolution is stored.

 

Since you’re already working directly with our Technical Quality team via your support ticket, I’ll go ahead and close this forum post to keep communication streamlined.

Please continue the conversation directly with our team through the ticket email.

 

Thanks,
