GIF not working on portfolio page

Recommended Posts

Posted

I've been experiencing issues with GIF files on my Squarespace site. For example, the Portfolio page ("What we do"), has a GIF for the featured image on the Fabcon project. On my browser, it is working fine, When other members of our team go to the page it completely disappears. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?

The GIF loaded OK for me. Perhaps others will chime in if they don't see the sardine eye's looking.

Two possibilities come to mind.

For those folks with issues the image is not actually being loaded.

The image is being loaded but not rendered properly.

To diagnose the issue we would need to be able to see the issue. Or not see as the case may be.

The other way to go would be to gather some data about the environments of the folks who are having the issue. What OS are they using? What browser? What versions of those are they using?

Also, have them restart their computers, hubs and routers. Getting a clean start is easy and if it works, great. If not then you can potentially eliminate those as variables.

Are other members of your team using any privacy blockers? My privacy blocker blocks that image from the Squarespace CDN:

Yes, they are using privacy blockers. Do you know why they would block that image and not others? I am wondering if there is anything we can change to work around the blockers.

Spammers have used GIFs a lot to present annoying flashing images for their spam.

It's unlikely. If the blocker is simply looking at the file for a signature that identifies the file as a GIF there is no way around that.
