### URL
https://www.raumgut.com
### What happened?
The mp4 video on the page results in:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_FAILED
This reduces the "Best Practices" score :-(
### What did you expect?
Either download the video properly or at the very least not mark this as a violation of best practices - it's a normal video.
### What have you tried?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing https://www.raumgut.com through PageSpeed Insights and inspect the failed MP4 request alongside the Best Practices result. Determine whether the video download failure is expected or incorrectly treated as a violation; done means the video is handled properly or no longer produces a false violation.
