We would really hate for your website to slow down because of our player. That is why we have paid close attention to the way FV Player loads and made sure it does so in the most optimal way possible.
We have improved the JavaScript loading of FV Player.
How to enable optimized loading
Go to Settings -> FV Player -> Integrations/Compatibility and enable Optimize FV Flowplayer JS loading.
Note: If you started using FV Player since version 7.5 or higher, then this setting is enabled by default.
The Difference
You can see the difference in Google PageSpeed Insights. This improvement will make your score better by several points.

What Made The Difference
You can see the real difference in the Reduce unused JavaScript tab in the Opportunities section. Size of the scripts loaded by FV Player is much smaller now. The scripts also load only after the visitor interacts with the website.

After optimization
We still keep the base Flowplayer library in place to make it easy to use the Flowplayer API – all the JavaScript function calls to flowplayer() will keep working that way. We might revise that later. Next we would like to work on loading required parts of the CSS only.
You can learn more about FV Player JavaScript optimization in our guide.
