Try again using a gallery page on a site like giphy which is going to be more representative of the use case op was talking about.

edit: such as https://giphy.com/sports/2019-stanley-cup-playoffs which seems to be entirely gifs if you view page resources in the debugger.

I don't believe these are actually gifs here. Similar to sites like imgur or twitter they convert it to something else to host for other people. Probably to keep bandwidth down. You can get to the actual gif, but you have to dig for it.

Most animated images on giphy are vp8 videos.
