A computing device includes a processor to monitor usage of resources within the computing device. Responsive to the usage of resources being above a threshold, a determination is made that displayed content of a web page from an application includes video or animation content. A determination that the video or animation content is included as part of a background of the displayed content is based on a comparison of sizes between a display screen displaying the content of the web page and the video or animation content. Responsive to the determination that the background includes the video or animation content, the processor no longer plays the video or animation content to reduce resource usage by the application to display the web page.
