I’m doing some testing to see what the best format / upload site is.

.gif file, 7.24MB, uploaded to giphy.com

Desktop

web:
Thumbnail? yes, Loads in post? yes, Loop? yes
alexandrite:
Thumbnail? no, Loads in post? no, Loop? yes (on click-through to external site)
photon:
Thumbnail? yes, Loads in post? yes, Loop? yes

Mobile

sync:
Thumbnail? no, Loads in post? yes, Loop? yes
voyager:

connect:
Thumbnail? yes, Loads in post? yes, Loop? yes
liftoff:

jerboa:

    Thanks for this detailed research 😍 can confirm the thumbnail doesn’t load on Alexandrite, and I need to click through to see the gif.
