Abstract
This disclosure describes systems and methods for displaying images on a browser. When a user opens a page/slide in a web application, a web application client generates a unique identifier for each image on the page, combines the identifiers for each image in a URL, and forwards the URL to a web application server. The web application server then parses the request and follows the URL to render and/or fetch each requested image. The web server encodes the requested images, combines the encoded images in a response string, and returns the response string to the browser. The browser parses the response string to display the requested images and adds each encoded image to a content data model for the web application. In embodiments, the browser stores the response string in a browser cache for subsequent retrieval and display of one or more images.
