Are short mp4s preferable to gifs for brief animated site elements, or...? - eviltoast

From what I gather, I don’t know that there’s a new norm in this regard yet, besides recognizing that gifs are increasingly old & clunky (despite being fun & amusing), and so I don’t know if mp4s or webms or something else might be better if wanting to keep a site lightweight while still having some animated elements.

    Basically any animated visual element where in the past you might have used a gif. I’m thinking more for a casual kind of site rather than anything professional, but with a desire for using more up to date formats that are smaller & quicker to load.
