Hi,
I’m using the HTML5 <video> tag on my WordPress site to play an MP4 file stored in the /wp-content/uploads/ directory. The video plays without any issues, but when I check the browser’s developer tools, I see that the request for the video file returns an HTTP 206 Partial Content status instead of the usual 200 OK.
Should I be concerned about this?
Could this be related to WordPress, my theme, or possibly the way my server (Apache/Nginx) is configured?
I did some digging and found a blog that explains HTTP 206 is normal when browsers make partial requests for things like media files. That makes sense, especially if the browser is allowing users to seek through the video.
But I just want to confirm—should I leave it as-is, or is there something I should optimize or adjust?
