Default Will Video slow my site?

I want to add video to my website but I am concerned that it will slow down the loading of my pages.

Can you please advise.

This very much depends on how you intend adding the video.

If you use a third party to supply the video such as You Tube where the video sits on their server and not your site. Then the speed will not be affected, as the site is only viewed on your webpage and isn't actually stored there.

However if you put video on your site in the form of a file then teh speed will be reduced and the site will have to retreive the video and prepare it for playing before your site fully loads.

We hope this is helpful,
