Reduced file size of hosted video and LCP / web vitals didnt improve???

Hey guys! do you guys know anything about largest contentful paint / time to first byte / first contentful paint by chance? i swapped our homepage video from a 12MB file to a 2.8MB one and the load vitals did not change whatsoever. I wouldve thought this wouldve improved

  • Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) - how long it takes to load ur hero / largest thing on webpage
  • Time to First Byte (TTFB) - time between the request for a resource and when the first byte of a response begins to arrive.
  • First Contentful Paint (FCP) - first image load time

obvy you can test this at pagespeed dot web dot dev

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns.

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
