Luke Cavanagh on "[Plugin: Lazy Load XT] Lazy Loading mp4 video"

Lazy load XT can it lazy load mp4 web video?

For example a 2 second mp4 video without audio used as a background video on a homepage.

Possibly. It depends on hour you're implementing the video. How are you loading the ideo on the page currently?

This is a simple implementation of how the files are being loaded currently.

Great... so looking at this it looks like the video will load on the page like normal, but CSS will make it appear in the background.

If that's the case, this plugin ought to lazy load it, no problem. Have you tried it yet? If it's not working, let me know and I'll look into it.

In this case the video is just used on two sliders of the homepage slider. Each video is around 1.5-3mb in size. So not sure if Lazy Load would really help. Rather than background loading those two assets.
