Your editor downloads a 32.6MB ffmpeg WASM binary on every page load.

Throttling the network to "Slow 3G", it took over four minutes of a broken interface before ffmpeg finally loads. (It doesn't cache, either.) A port of the Audacity audio editor to web[1] with WASM takes 2.7 minutes on the same connection, so the binary is totally reasonable, but I think claiming less than 2 MB is disingenuous.
