Story Map - Large Shapefile Problems

I am working with a large shapefile (47MB) in ArcGIS online for using in my story map on the Visual Tab - link here: https://arcg.is/0b4LL . It a a zone of theoretical visibility (ZTV) for wind farms. I converted it from a raster and dissolved it and merged some attributes to make it smaller and easier to handle in Arc GIS online. I have also ended up splitting it into separate shapefiles as this seems to help a bit in loading.

I have shared it as a service to my account and I read this should make it quicker loading however i am still finding it very slow loading and when you zoom in to the map when the map is trying to load the whole site crashes!

I tried to publish so it is a host tile layer but when I add it to my map it keep saying there is an error and that it might not be in the right co-ordinate system. I did try and re-projecting it in the recommended WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere but it still comes up with the same error.

I also tried loading the raster by publishing it but had similar issues. Has anyone found a good way of loading large shapefiles?

Here is a link to the file I am working with: https://services7.arcgis.com/JTczPnyatlWnJ5Gc/arcgis/rest/services/Scenario_A_ZTV_groups/FeatureServer

Thanks

Megan

We'd really recommend contacting Esri Tech Support about your data so they could walk through how best to display that data in an ArcGIS Online map. See also: Best practices for using layers in maps—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS
