Autoloaded video can outweigh the rest of the page. Many pages embed a video player that starts loading straight away. It fetches the video, or a heavy player script, the moment the page opens. Whether anyone watches or not. Every one of those bytes uses energy, on the network and the device. Here is the fix you can use today. First, show a poster image, and fetch the video only on click. Next, tell video elements not to preload. Then use a light placeholder for other sites' players, until someone uses them. Check what still loads, using tools like Lighthouse and WebPageTest. GreenCode's own website loads its films only when someone presses play. A two to three minute film there is around ten megabytes. Visitors who never press play never download it. GreenCode helps tackle this by practising it on its own website. Static pages, lighter images, and scripts only where they are used. That was GreenCode Tech Tip number fifty-two.
