Any suggestions on how I could do that? I already compressed this gif as far as possible. Maybe a video format is better?

Edit: Or maybe I replace this with a static image? How do people feel about background videos in general?

I don't have much experience with that but I remember on one of the projects we indeed used an embed video for background animation. Also you may want to consider making it lower-res and scaling it with css. That should reduce the size even further.

Alright, thanks for the feedback! I think the best course of action is to use a static image for the moment until I can upgrade to a better plan, and then use a background video whose file size I will need to reduce as much as possible.
