How to improve video loading performance?
Improving Video Load Performance
On sales pages, it’s crucial that your video loads as quickly as possible. To achieve this, you can apply prebrowsing techniques that pre-load essential parts of the page — making the video play faster with no noticeable delays for the user.
What are preloading techniques?
Prebrowsing tags instruct the browser to anticipate connections or resources. The main techniques include:
- dns-prefetch
Resolves domain names in advance to speed up loading.
- preconnect
Starts the connection with the remote server even before the resource is requested.
- prefetch
Downloads files that will be needed soon, such as parts of the video or player images.
- prerender
Renders a page or components ahead of time, so everything is ready when the user accesses it.
<head>. Member areas usually don’t allow changes to that section.How does it work with Panda?
Panda Video makes this process easier! We provide a ready-to-use set of tags optimized to:
- Load the player in advance
- Speed up the loading of the first few seconds of video
Where can I find these tags?
- Go to the desired video in your dashboard
- Click the “Performance” button
- Copy the preloading tag code generated there
Where should I insert the code?
The tags must be placed inside the <head> tag of your page’s HTML.
How you insert them will depend on your page builder or CMS (WordPress, Elementor, Webflow, etc.). We’ll soon publish tutorials for the main platforms.
