This issue has been around for a while https://app.ahrefs.com/site-audit/2944028/data-explorer?columns=pageRating%2Curl%2ChttpCode%2CcontentType%2Csize%2CloadingTime%2CincomingImage¤t=27-09-2024T022449&filterId=ad5863095a819f761d42b32931a29649&issueId=c64d8113-d0f4-11e7-8ed1-001e67ed4656&sorting=-size.
Using a video over a gif allows to reduce the bandwidth use by x3 and also to show control, which is great for >10s videos.
There are likely more gif to convert but I don't have bandwidth for this. I wanted to show the example and remove the noise from the crawl. Once we fix the blog pagination #40941 (the blog is not crawlable correctly today by bots), ahrefs should report them all.
I did the conversion using https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31781238/using-ffmpeg-to-convert-gif-to-mp4-output-doesnt-play-on-android.
