Having just read The Website Obesity Crisis[0] I was instantly intrigued by the video loop at the top of this article, so fired up Chrome&#x27;s network inspector.<p>Not only is it 6.7Mb, but it&#x27;s sent using streaming (Status: 206 Partial Content), and for me at least, every time the video reaches the end, it&#x27;s loaded again, and not from cache.<p>I didn&#x27;t actually read the article, but according to Read-o-meter[1] it would take around 18 min, during which time the 15 second video would play 72 times, consuming 482MB of data!<p>0 - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;idlewords.com&#x2F;talks&#x2F;website_obesity.htm#crisis" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;idlewords.com&#x2F;talks&#x2F;website_obesity.htm#crisis</a><p>1 - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;niram.org&#x2F;read&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;niram.org&#x2F;read&#x2F;</a><p>Edit: Ha, caught out by my own dev setup, ie: disable cache when dev tools is open. My bad, feel free to ignore everything I said :)
