Serve Videos Instead of GIFs
However, GIFs tend to be several megabytes in size now because we frequently use them to display videos comprised of images with a lot of detail. Remember that each one is losslessly compressed. Furthermore, GIF doesn't do any compression between frames, a basic foundation of typical video compression techniques. Frames of a video tend to be fairly similar. Because GIFs don't exploit this information redundancy, the format is a very inefficient way to serve videos.
The solution is to use a format that's actually designed to serve videos, like MP4 or WebM. Many services do this transparently. When Twitter added GIF support in 2014, they implemented the feature by converting uploaded GIFs into videos to serve instead. Imgur started doing the same thing the same year.
