Should I compress videos more to speed PDPs without losing clarity?

I'm struggling with product page (PDP) performance and want to optimize video content without sacrificing visual quality. My e-commerce store uses product videos to showcase items, but I'm concerned about page load times and user experience. I need to understand the right balance between video compression, file size, and maintaining crisp, professional-looking product demonstrations that effectively convert visitors.
