Dear Inquisit team/ Dave,
We are currently running an online experiment with the Inquisit Web tool.
Our data file has a size of 17.4MB (there are a lot of pictures included which we definitely need in an accepatable quality) and our script is quite long with 18236 lines in total.
When running the experiment with the local data file, loading time is under 2 seconds, however, in the online version the loading time is between 3-5 minutes. This naturally lowers the motivation of our potential participants quit a lot to participate in our investigation. We were thinking about using a different server, if that's the problem, but we aren't sure right now. We are thus wondering whether a) you have an idea why loading the experiment takes so long and b) whether you have any suggestions on how to reduce the loading time (apart from reducing the file size or the scope of the script)
We'd be very grateful for some advice
Yours
Paula
