    Hello,

    You kindly helped me to fix a bug in one of you other themes. When hosting self hosted video files, the theme would load the video as the page was loading, causing a massive bottleneck when loading the site, which took an age.

    The post is here: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/slow-loading-with-self-hosted-videos/

    This fix you carried out, stopped the video from loading. I thought that fixed the problem, but the site was still very slow to load.
    I thought this was down to the theme I was using, as it was one of your older themes.

    Today I purchased your newer theme Enfold.

    I’m experiencing the same problem with self hosted video files. I’ve carried out the same fix as per the above post. This stops the video from load, but doing this make the site so, so slow when loading.

    It seems the two themes don’t like self hosted video files at all.

    Please can you take another look at the issue.

    Hi,

    How I have designed the site, via Portfolio, the speed issue don’t affect me.

    So no rush at all for me on this – but it does look like the theme has problem when insert videos directly into the page.

    Thanks, Shaun

    Hi!

    I checked your page but it’s loading pretty fast for me. The video loads and plays very fast as well.

    When I checked in Firebug your page loaded in 6 seconds. You do have about 1MB worth of images being loaded so you may want to consider optimizing those.

    Regards,
    Elliott
