I would prefer, as UX, that it would follow this order:

- First load first frame on lowres (may be so lo that is blurred)

- Then add a small rotating loading icon on top of image, possibly with a notation that is a GIF

- Then load first frame completely at correct resolution

- Then load all the other frames in the background, only showing me the first frame still

- When all frames are completely loaded, remove loading rotating icon and run the GIF normally.




Awesome suggestions. I'll try to see if it's possible.
