    Hi @yigit
    on marcusjeroch.de there is a video in the footer.
    This video is NOT on autoplay, it requires a useraction to start.
    So why is the video loading its whole 4 MB without having a user clicking on play?
    At least GTM says so:

    Hey MarcusJeroch,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    How did you embed the video? If it is an iframe or if you are using a video tag, you can add the preload attribute and set it to none.

    Example:

    <video width="1000" height="640" controls="controls" preload="none">
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>

    Hi,

    We did check it, but it is possible that you are using a shortcode or a custom plugin to embed the video. We are note exactly sure, which is why we asked. If you embed it directly using a video tag, then adding the preload attribute should help, as suggested previously.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
