    What are the steps to ensuring a home page background video plays immediately without lag?

    Currently, a video hosted at Vimeo is used in a Color Section as a Background Video. It takes too long to display. Also, if the browser tab is open and revisited later, the video doesn’t show at all—the browser must be reloaded for the video to show again, after a long delay of course.

    The video URL has this appended: ?autoplay=1&loop=1&background=1&mute=1

    Hey Tanja,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    The video seemed to be loading quickly when we checked. The delay is quite normal since the video needs to buffer some content before it can play. Unfortunately, we don’t have direct control over this, as it depends primarily on Vimeo and network conditions, as well as the viewer’s device and browser. You could try optimizing the page further so that other resources load as quickly as possible, which should slightly improve the overall experience.
