Hey, My youtube embeds don't seem to be working. They link to youtube when clicked:
https://humanhealth.je/
And don't play the videos on the site. The two videos are halfway down the page under the section: Stories...

The whole container seems to also become clickable, linking to the videos.

Any idea what could be causing this? I have siteground lazy loading on the site. The embeds also seem to be tanking my loadspeeds. My page insights score on mobile is 85 when I remove them and drops to 25 with them on the page.

Thanks for your help :)

Hi Justin,

I would recommend using the YouTube embed block instead of the container link:

Hey Leo.

Ah thank you - Sorry I realised I must have accidentally linked from the container. I didnt realise and assumed it was an issue with the player.

All working now - thanks for your help
