A table with transparent piece images will use fewer images than the code generated by ffen2diag.js, because it has to load only one image for each type of piece, whereas ffen2diag.js, which uses nothing but images, has to use separate images for the same piece on different color squares. So a table will use about half as many images, and when the images are comparable, that will reduce bandwidth. Game Courier can render boards as tables using a transparent version of the same piece images you have been using. It is called 'Small Pieces for Large Boards'. But it currently adds some things to the code you do not need for displaying the board. I will work on modifying the Table rendering method to display code suitable for pasting on a web page.
