Building a wordpress site with background video using HTML5 <video> tag . On desktop Firefox and Chrome - the video loads great on . But on Safari OSX you have to wait until the full video downloads before it begins to play. This is causing the experience to be subpar on as you have to wait 3-5 seconds of stillness before video begins playing.
To make matters worse on my clients old wix website they have a much larger video and it loads FASTER than on my wordpress site:
2.5mb mp4 on Media Temple (dedicated virtual) takes 5.86 seconds to load.
On my clients shitty wix site mp4 file (8.5mb) takes 1 second to load.
My question - where can I find hosting that will load MP4's with the same speed as WIX?
Is this possible for wordpress hosting?
I hate WIX but how can I ask a client to move away from WIX when their hosting performance seems faster?
Thanks in advance
