Embedding Youtube videos slow down the post on mobile devices
1 reply · Started by Yanuaria on September 17, 2020
Hello Guys
I am noticing every time I embed a youtube video on any blog post it becomes slow on mobile
Desktop Google Speed report 98
Mobile Google speed report 60
If I embed more than one video the speed on that particular blog post drop even more.
I have tried decreasing the width and that helps a little but not enough. I have tested different videos but have the same result.
I currently have two posts with videos and looking to fix this issue.
Can you advice where to look to fix this issue
I only have 5 plugins installed and have GP Premium 1.11.3 and GenerateBlocks 1.1.2
Google speed report is showing

Hi,
That's the default WordPress video/embed blocks behavior. By default, it loads all the embedded scripts as shown in the report.
To improve pagespeed scores, you may have to find a way to lazy load your embedded video so they will only load when it's in viewport.
Perhaps this plugin may help.

Let us know if it works for you.
