SuperMoo vs Vimeo, compared honestly
Vimeo is a solid host with a big library and a brand people know. Its player just adds weight that slows your site. SuperMoo loads the same videos 3x faster, with a player you brand as your own. Below is an honest look at where each one wins.
We embedded the same video on one page with Vimeo, then swapped it for SuperMoo and ran the test again. Nothing else on the page changed.
Honest note. Your numbers will be different to ours. Speed depends on your page and your visitors' connection, so test it on your own site before you take our word for it.

FAQs

SuperMoo's entry plan includes a fully branded player and logo removal, which Vimeo keeps for its higher tiers. So you often pay less to get the branding you actually want. Check both against your own usage before deciding.

It can. A heavy embed adds scripts and requests that drag your page speed down. SuperMoo's player is built to stay light, so video doesn't cost you speed.
