I've been making some updates to a portfolio site and made it live recently. It's fixed width and I've been focused on completing the Desktop version of the site. It's extremely content-heavy, prohibitively so as it seems to load for some between 5-15 seconds and not at all for others. I have BG video, HTML5 buttons created in Edge Animate, SVGs, and lots of image files. While I have many specific questions, I thought I would ask where the best place to start would be to optimize this bloated site of mine. My thought is that the BG videos need to be further compressed (currently 2000k bitrate) or eliminated completely, but I'm not sure how taxing the Edge Animate animations are. Perhaps converting the toolkit section to basic SVGs would be more effective. This is a work in progress so any tips are welcome! Motion Minded Media Production and Design | Shutterlab Creative
