In the initial GIF format, there are only 256 colors total in the image (same colormap for all frames). This is the format that Gimp supports. The "standard" has been improved a bit since to allow a colormap per frame. This can make a difference if the global colors change a lot during the animation. This newer format is not supported by Gimp (you can export all your frames to PNG and and create the GI using an external utility.
You can also investigate using the WebP format. The animation look much better that with GIF and yields much smaller files. WebP is supported by all browsers now, but sometime not by all server software (such as the one we use here, alas).
And if you show us a bit of the GIF, we could make suggestions to improve it even within the limits of the GIMP-supported format.
