title: What's the optimal file size for a looping HTML5 background?
body: <h1>My research:</h1>
  
  <p>The only related question I could find is specific to JWPlayer. My question isn't specific to JWPlayer:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7761359/optimal-file-size-for-a-html5-background-video-stream-with-jwplayer">Optimal file size for a html5 background video stream with JWPlayer?</a></p>
  
  <p>Search engine results don't seem to yield a guideline either.</p>
  
  <h1>My question:</h1>
  
  <p>Before answering that there is no optimal and the world is far too beautiful and replete in variation for one to fathom an answer, bear in mind that I'm basing my question on the average or most common internet connections.</p>
  
  <p>To put it another way, if I wanted to reach the majority of internet users, without experiencing significant load/performance issues, what should my maximum file size limitation be?</p>
