If your page contains multiple videos (such as testimonials), we recommend disabling preloading for all secondary videos, while keeping it enabled for your main video.

This helps reduce page loading time, improves visitor experience, and contributes to better SEO performance.

How to Disable Preloading

By default, video preloading is enabled for all video elements.

To disable it for a specific video:

  1. Open the page editor for the page that includes the video element.

  2. Click on the video element you wish to modify.

  3. In the Content tab, locate the Preloading option.

  4. Check the box to disable preloading for that video.

Repeat these steps for each additional video on the page that should not preload.

Note: Preloading helps speed up video playback. Disable preloading only if you plan to embed multiple videos on the same page.
