Slow video using Git LFS with Bitbucket

[Mickael_Chanrion]

Hello!

On the website motosacoche.swiss, the first element visible in the homepage contains a video (intro.mp4 124.3 mb). I noticed that the loading is super slow and I don’t understand why.

Since Netlify’s Large Media is deprecated, I used Git LFS with Bitbucket to store the mp4. The loading speed was not slow before so I’m wondering if this is not because I reached a bandwidth limit somewhere. This leads to another interrogation: is this mp4 loading from Bitbucket’s servers or is it downloaded and stored in Netlify at build time?

Thank you for reading and helping me

Netlify do not “shape” bandwidth, you’re just charged for excess bandwidth consumption as per the plan pricing → $55 per 100GB.

Where the site loads the video from is down to how you have your site built.

Your video is playing from Netlify:

Ok thank you for the information, but I’m not sure how it tells me why the loading of the file is slow.

@Mickael_Chanrion It doesn’t, but can you point me to where Netlify claim to offer fast video streaming?
