It depends all on the source website; Imgur has a bad case of not providing proper download links.

Hmm strange, once I open the links in new tab, they change to gifv to me (from mp4), at least in Chrome.
I'm not familiar with wordpress inner workings, but does using the video shortcode help? (it can be done with mp4's)

Well no worries then :) the gif's aren't that bad after the initial load. They only take a while in the beginning and don't really interrupt the rest of the page loading.

The blog post itself was great btw! finally got the time to look through it.

How long did it take (approximately) for you to load the pages? i used a test website and it showed that my blog took over 1 minutes to load :doh:

When loading the frontpage for the first time, the GIFs are loaded in 5-10 seconds (while the page itself only takes milliseconds), but it stays sluggish for a while longer.
