Panoramr has no speed, GPU or hardware-acceleration setting, so what you can change is the content. Panoramr measures no loading times, so it cannot tell you which of these is slowing a given tour.

Add photos through the tour upload window, which cuts each one into tiles so the player loads only the sizes the visitor's screen needs. A scene without tiles loads its whole picture instead: select it on the **Panoramas** tab and look at **Geometry Core** under **Panorama Settings** in the **Advanced** view. If it reads **Standard Pipeline (WebP)**, **Replace Original File** with the photo in the upload window to make tiles.

Keep the number of published scenes in mind. A tour of up to 24 scenes asks for the first picture of every scene when it opens, so the requests at the start grow with the scenes; a bigger tour loads the room on screen and the rooms it links to first. Video, audio and embedded pages in the first room also add to the start.

Visitors get a stored copy of the page, kept for 30 days, so the first visit after a change takes a moment longer while it is built. [What affects how a tour loads, and what you can change](https://www.panoramr.com/help/make-tours-fast) has the details.
