<p dir="ltr">Add videos to page and making them autoload is what increases page load time. But I think most of these video overlay things have a basic image to load first, and if the user clicks on the video play button, it actually loads the video.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Well, I think the loading time will be negligible when the overlay is added, if any, which would be caused by the overlay code, and not the link to the video.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The video only plays when the user requests it.</p>
