  • QWhy doesn’t my background video play in some browsers?

    Frame rate - 15 - 30 frames/second
    Size – about 3 MB
  • QWhat is a preview image?
  • A
    Mobile devices do not fully support playback of background videos, due to complications such as
    different browser support of video file types. Therefore, we decided to use a preview image to replace a background video, and display as a background image.
    (Don't forget that a preview image will also display while a video is loading.)

    You'll need to upload your own preview image (otherwise the previously used image will be used).

So, make sure your domain nameservers have been changed and try it after 48 hours since you change the nameservers. Also, if you connect the domain with forwarding, the webmaster tools cannot recognize your domain has been connected properly, neither.

You can access your site with “www.+ your domain address” as we redirect to the domain address that does not have “www”. Therefore, webmaster tools cannot recognize the domain address with “www.”.

    PIXLR , Photoworks , Alsee 

    2. Use Multi-Page Design for Website

    One-page design loads all images at the same time and it makes your website slow.
