 * Lazy load XT can it lazy load mp4 web video?
 * For example a 2 second mp4 video without audio used as a background video on 
   a homepage.

 * Possibly. It depends on hour you’re implementing the video. How are you loading
   the ideo on the page currently?

 * This is a simple implementation of how the files are being loaded currently.

 * Great… so looking at this it looks like the video will load on the page like 
   normal, but CSS will make it appear in the background.
 * If that’s the case, this plugin ought to lazy load it, no problem. Have you tried
   it yet? If it’s not working, let me know and I’ll look into it.

 * In this case the video is just used on two sliders of the homepage slider. Each
   video is around 1.5-3mb in size. So not sure if Lazy Load would really help. 
   Rather than background loading those two assets.

 * 3-6mb is nothing to sneeze at, especially for mobile users. You should be able
   to just use the plugin out of the box, but if you’re proficient with js and want
   to do some more advanced implementation with the slider, check out the github
   page ([https://github.com/ressio/lazy-load-xt/](https://github.com/ressio/lazy-load-xt/)).
 * Good luck, and if you need any additional help, let me know.
