How should I optimize my Gif files?

[Saladyn]

Hi guys,

I wonder what's the best option to reduce the size of my gifs files without sacrifizing quality and size of the image.

I have found I manage a domain which uses 3 gifs in the home page around 10mb each! Which is killing my SEO and my crawl budget.

What should I do guys?

Thanks in advance.

I dont think reducing size will have sizable effect.

Why dont you lazy load gifs?

That will reduce your page size.

convert it to .mp4 it will reduce it up to 5~10x

The problem is I am using slider revolution. I don't really know wheter I can add .mp4 or other extensions to slider revolution.

In case it can be done it wont reproduce automatically the file.

i'm pretty sure you can

edit: i tried to google it and saw few articles about it.

I wrote it above. Will the file be played automatically? Somehow I doubt it.

I want todo thank all of you guys. Think best option would be changing to video format, I have investigate and it seems is possible to play it automatically.
