Investigate Scrib'd embeds #15745

Open michaelwmcnamara opened 7 years ago

michaelwmcnamara commented 7 years ago

These embeds are very heavy. Investigate if there is anything we can do - either at the composer end or the display end - to make them lighter. eg https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/21/mad-alex-donald-trump-letters-abuse-ex-scottish-first-minister

4.46MB without ads simply due to scribd embed.

scribd vs pdf findings (will need to request access): https://docs.google.com/a/guardian.co.uk/spreadsheets/d/1Ib5LxYYuokOQ1UnwjxzpwAiXCGEDrWyAd0lhDP6-BH0/edit?usp=sharing

in a nutshell: better features on scrib'd editorial would prefer to be able to use it.

Calameo may have a similar amount of features to scribd - will investigate if cant get scribd to work
