What are the potential pitfalls of using multiple audio files (e.g., .wav) in a PHP webpage?

Using multiple audio files on a PHP webpage can lead to slower loading times and increased server bandwidth usage. To mitigate these issues, you can compress the audio files into a more efficient format like .mp3 and use HTML5 audio tags with preload attributes set to "none" to prevent all audio files from loading at once. 

<?php
// Code to display HTML5 audio tags with compressed audio files
$audio_files = array("audio1.mp3", "audio2.mp3", "audio3.mp3");

foreach ($audio_files as $audio) {
    echo "<audio controls preload='none'>
              <source src='$audio' type='audio/mpeg'>
          Your browser does not support the audio element.
          </audio>";
}
?>
