Image Transformation Doesn't Load On First Try

Hi,

I'm using Cloudinary to generate a dynamic personal image using the layover text transformation.

The transformation image URL is sent to a chat on Facebook Messenger but it does not load when it's first loaded.

If it's resent/reloaded, it works the second time perfectly.

Any ideas why this is happening?

It's a standard image 1000px (square) with 17 text transformations added to it, so the URL is pretty long but as I mentioned it works perfectly on the second attempt.

Thanks

    Hi Ryan,

    The derived assets requested during delivery are generated on-the-fly, stored persistently, cached, and delivered through a CDN. The time required for generating a transformation depends on various factors: original asset dimensions, asset file size, requested dimensions, applied effects, and specific transformations. Once generated for the first time on the first request of a visitor (i.e., first hit) - the transformed asset is henceforth cached and delivered through a fast CDN for all subsequent requests.

    Hope this helps.
