Videos Are Prloading Causing Site to slow Down – NSFW

What page? Please post a url demonstrating the problem.

Hmm..I was trying to not do that, It’s a graphic news site. I changed the theme back to the original theme so you don’t have to see any of the advertisements or anything. Just don’t watch the videos, They are exactly as they are labeled.

This is the only url I see.

Weird! …Its sociallybanned.com

Preloading images is not a function of WordPress. You should check your theme and the way the host has you set-up on the server.

My host is host gator…this is what they said, and I quote
” If they are being preloaded in some way, the software you’re using to stream the videos is doing that. For this reason, I recommend to contact the provider of that software for information on how to configure it to run the best. Video streaming is not as simple as setting up a text-based blog, for example.
(4:21 pm) [Laura]: and the software would be WordPress correct?
(4:24 pm) [Laura]: I am using an out of the box version of wordpress that came with my vps
(4:24 pm) [Tim B.] WordPress doesn’t have any built in video streaming feature that I know of. Typically it’s done by a theme or plugin that you add to the site.
(4:24 pm) [Laura]: So it could be a theme issue
(4:27 pm) [Tim B.] It could, if the theme is what’s handling the video streaming.
(4:28 pm) [Laura]: Well thats the ONLY thing i have added that it could be..I am going to switch it back to the stock theme and see what happens
(4:28 pm) [Laura]: https://sociallybanned.com/
(4:28 pm) [Laura]: this is the default theme
(4:28 pm) [Laura]: the videos are still there
(4:29 pm) [Laura]: and still embeded and preloading
(4:29 pm) [Laura]: I just don;t get it
(4:31 pm) [Laura]: I mean, Even if I make it so that Only 1 video/post is on each page its still going to load a 100mb video even if its not clicked on?
(4:33 pm) [Tim B.] It does seem to preload the videos. Unfortunately, I am not a web developer so I won’t be able to help with designing the site to fit a certain specification. I recommend contacting the software’s provider – if you are unsure the forums on www.ads-software.com may have more information. If none of those options work, you may need to contact a web developer.”

I am so confused. I am using the default theme, And the host is telling me to look else where…I am quickly running out of people to ask for what seems like such a simple thing

What do you mean by “the default theme”?

The stock theme that is set when I first use Hostgators Quick Install to install a new WordPress Blog

It’s not the theme my site is using but the theme I am using while I ask for help…The real theme has adult ads and stuff on it..trying to clean it up to ask for help

Is the stock theme named, “Twenty Thirteen”, “Twenty Twelve”, “Twenty Eleven” or “Twenty Ten”?

I am sorry I didn’t see the NSFW thing…the site is 100% NSFW

Twenty Thirteen

Should I switch it back to the actual theme I am using for the site? I don’t care if the Twenty Thirteen theme works or not I need it to work for my main theme…If this is indeed a theme related issue that is

Check this, https://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ I see nothing preloading.

I see what it says but you can easily tell my site is indeed preloading each video all at the same time…
