Pros and Cons of Background Video in Website

This is important to think of videos as backgrounds, not stories. Don’t try to explain what you do, simply set the stage. Limit the length of background videos to 15 or maximum 20 seconds at most, and then loop the video to start over. Make Professional videos, which look simple have a positive effect on your brand. Do not have sound auto-play. If you really want music or ambient noise (which is not recommend), allow users to turn it on themselves. Don’t over complicate. If you add video to your website, keep the rest simple. Video can be distracting, so confusing users further with non-intuitive navigation and other design elements can be overwhelming.

Pros:

1. Video is engaging. We are naturally drawn to moving images. They pull us into the website and, hopefully, encourage us to explore more. 
2. Videos can help convey your brand. In a split second, a video can set a mood or evoke a feeling, which is harder to do with a static image or via text. 
3. Boosts SEO- If your video is cross-posted on several sharing platforms; it can boost the SEO value of your website. The more views your video takes in, the more it helps increase your rankings on search engines, especially if your visitors find your video good enough to continue sharing it.

Cons: 

1. If your homepage doesn’t load quickly, visitors may get frustrated and go elsewhere. A well programmed website should load a video quickly and not make visitors wait while a “loading” wheel churns. However, if a user has a slow connection, they may find your video homepage slower to load.
2. Video backgrounds are inherently auto-playing — they play without the user clicking anything. But many mobile platforms (including iOS) and legacy browsers do not support auto-playing video. Thus, a backup option is required, such as a static image. 
3. Videos can be distracting. It’s important to think of these as backgrounds, not documentaries. Lengthy or highly detailed videos will compound load speed issues.

Specifying a Webpage Icon for Web Clip.

The apple-touch-icon.png is a file used for a web page icon on the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. When someone bookmarks your web page or adds your web page to their home screen this icon is used. If this file is not found these Apple products will use the screen shot of the web page, which often looks like no more than a white square.

This file should be saved as a .png, have dimensions of  76 x 76 Or,  120 x 120 Or, 152 x152
To specify multiple icons for different device resolutions. For example, support both iPhone and iPad devices. Add a sizes attribute to each link element as follows:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="touch-icon-iphone.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="76x76" href="touch-icon-ipad.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="120x120" href="touch-icon-iphone-retina.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="152x152" href="touch-icon-ipad-retina.png">

Fixed header/footer issue on iOS device

When you scroll the page and dismiss the keyboard while the page still scrolls, the header does not return to its fixed position. If you tap a link or button, the header shows up somewhere in the (vertical) middle of the screen and only returns to its fixed position after manually scrolling.

Solution:

if( /iPhone|iPod|iPad/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {
    $(document).on('focus', 'input, textarea', function()
    {
       $('header').css("position", 'absolute');
       $('footer').css("position", 'absolute');
      
    });
   
    $(document).on('blur', 'input, textarea', function()
    {
         $('header').css("position", 'fixed');
         $('footer').css("position", 'fixed');
       
    });
}

The above "unfixes" the header/footer while an input field is focused.
