Multiple embedded Vimeo videos result in long loading times + preloader issues

[raquetestudio]

Hello,

I have been trying to create a proper page on Muse CC 2017 that contains several (18) embedded Vimeo videos.

The problem is that the page takes a long time to load and loads in a weird way:

1. enter page

2. browser progress bar loads — no content visible

3. browser bar stops loading — no content visible

4. content eventually shows up a few seconds later

(I've tested this on Safari and Chrome, on OSX El Capitan)

Using a preloader to tackle the long loading time doesn't work, as all preloaders I used (either free/paid widgets or through manual jquery/html/css), seem to kick in too late —  simultaneously with the content showing up (point 4 above).

Is this issue familiar to anyone? This is driving me insane, as the total lack of feedback when the page is loading will surely steer visitors away.

Thanks in advance.

you don't want a preloader... what you need is a way to load only one at a time.
