Hello,
I uploaded a couple of videos using the background video component and it seems like the site does not delete previously uploaded videos and loads them along with the new one. For context, I uploaded a webm file which I later replaced with an mp4, but according to page speed insights, both load but only have one background video component with the mp4 there. Any way to remove prev uploaded ones?
In general those old, replaced background videos are still sitting up on the public Webflow CDN, but they shouldn’t be linked from your site.
Can you link to your site where this is being reported by page speed insights?
Yeah as Chris is saying, this should not affect your page-speed since the videos are hosted on the webflow CDN.
“still sitting up on the public Webflow CDN” — That would be ok if they wouldn’t count towards the new, lower bandwidth limit. But they do.
Is there any solution?
Solution found, inspired by “Bandwidth Buddy” Jesse’s post in Reddit and his video explainer.
As it turns out, the HTML code had a few extra lines and it was loading a video in the home page. As the video did not appear in the Designer, it was impossible to find and delete. Looking at the page loading (Jesse’s instructions) allowed me to locate the buggy Code Block element.
I hope this helps…
