FAQ pictures taking longer to load for customers

(OTRS version 2.3.4, FAQ version 1.5.4) Hi all, I created an article in our FAQ that makes use of three GIF's embedded using the WYSIWYG editor, the Gif's are roughly 350KB each. The article was external (customer) from the start. When I browse to the FAQ through the Agent login, the pictures load up fine, but when I browse to the FAQ throught the customer login, the pictures take a minute or two to load. I have Any suggestions on what I could do to resolve this? Thanks Emily

Hi,
350KB is quite big for web based images. That's almost 1MB just for
your images. If the customers are coming in over a WAN this could be
effecting things. You could firstly try to reduce them by saving them
with either jpeg or png compression.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I will try a reduction in image size, but I am based in the same office as
the OTRS server and I am logging on as both Admin and Customer on the same
pc and I experience the delay.
I'll see how the size reduction goes anyways,
Thanks

Hi again,
I am still having a problem with pictures taking forever to load.
I reduced the size of the pictures I have embedded in the article, but
size doesn't seem to matter here as none of the pictures are loading
across all customer viewable FAQ's for at least 3 or 4 mins.. (it just
shows the small broken picture icon) then suddenly all of them are
viewable.
While waiting for a picture to load, I right-clicked on the broken picture
link and it got me to log in as Admin and then I got a download prompt
asking me did I want to save or view the file... I could download and view
the file ok then.
I know there is a bug where if an internal article that contains pictures
is converted to an external (public) one, the pictures are not viewable...
I think I probably changed a few from internal to external (customer), but
at least one or two were always external (customer), and their pictures
are taking ages to load.
Logged on as an Admin I have no problems at all... all pictures are
instantly viewable.
Strange.
Suggestions very welcome! I'm getting lots of bad votes in the FAQ's due
to non-existent pics! :(
Thanks
Emily
