1. A method comprising:
determining, by a computing device, at least one content segment associated with a plurality of variants and an identifying sequence;
determining, based on each variant of the plurality of variants, a greatest size variant of the plurality of variants, wherein each variant, of the plurality of variants, differs in size based on the identifying sequence; and
generating a modified version of each remaining variant, of the plurality of variants, such that the modified version of each remaining variant has a same data size as the greatest size variant.
