@alcea @slightlyoff What do you mean by #nolods?

This is the sort of scenario I'm thinking of:

https://web.dev/lazy-loading-video/#video-gif-replacement

The JS the fires on DOMContentLoaded. But I'm assuming the video only loads once everything else has finished in my original question, hence the point about lazy-load, non-blocking.

My question is more about whether to use autoplaying video *at all*.

Any opinions @scottjehl @addyosmani? (sorry to pick you guys out - wracking my brains for perf experts here on Mastodon!)

@charlesroper @slightlyoff

Why not -if really needed- use "onload" to load heavy bandwith media #suchas #video "#last" ?

Instead of following such #arbitrary #guidelines by #nolods,
I just toss my site into here

Each #website has different #requirements

And loading of content an be done when #required.

You can even break #css \ #js on purpose and fix it #jit
