Example URL:
https://www.jackwilliamseditor.com/edits

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Navigate to 'edits' section of website, roll mouseover titles to play videos
2. Click a video to load an enlarged version
3. Check out the dev tools to see a load of pending requests.
4. Repeat test in Firefox to see intended behaviour (Chrome was the same when the site was built late 2016)

What is the expected behavior?
The videos should load and play smoothly without significant hanging.

What went wrong?
The videos hang for long periods of time, it appears the browser is making unneeded requests and then waiting for them.

Did this work before? Yes Unsure - late 2016 for sure

Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? HTML5

Does this work in other browsers? Yes
