Thank you so much for your time, effort and support. I am very sorry for the inconvenience. I checked the server multiple times - despite the unexpected huge amount of traffic from HN the server still seems to be fine. So I am not sure what causes these long loading times for some participants. I am very sorry for that - I will try to my best to improve this somehow.
Thank you again for your support!
Just a quick update: I have improved the code and think that I thereby was able to reduce loading times significantly. Thank you for your effort and patience - it really means a lot!
Is the server in the university/hospital and are you testing from the same building? Try testing from your home or as fas as possible. Also use another browser, so the images are not in the cache or something.
Thank you very much for your feedback and support! I already tested it from a "remote" location.
I have optimized the code tonight and think I was able to improve performance significantly!
I am very sorry for the inconvenience - but I never expected that amount of traffic on the site, so I was a little bit overwhelmed by that :-)
But I hope that the issue is improved now!
Thank you for your interest and feedback.
Yes - in some ways it is.
We want to get a far more profound understanding of the influence the different parameters (e.g. size, shape, areola sizes, areola positions etc.) have on the aesthetic perception of the female breast.
So in the end we would love to get results like: in case of a areola asymmetry, more people tend to accept a asymmetry than a correction when you therefore have scars.
I hope that explanation helps a little bit. Thank you for your time and support.
