I’ve been testing a few streaming apps on different phones and noticed that performance can change quite a bit between devices and networks. Sometimes videos start quickly, while other times there’s buffering or a delay when loading content.
I’m curious what developers usually focus on first when improving this. Is it mainly CDN performance, video encoding, caching, server response time, or the app itself? Even a free entertainment app still needs to handle different connection speeds without making the experience frustrating.
What has worked for others when trying to improve streaming performance?
