When adding youtube embeded code I noticed on pingdom pagespeed tools youtube videos add an additional 600k to my test page? base.js (437.7kb)
https://www.youtube.com/yts/jsbin/player-vfliK45Zi/en_US/base.jsAny suggestions how to reduce this?

Hello Jason,
that YouTube base.js file only loads if you are actually going to play the video.
However on mobile it has to load ahead of time as otherwise playing the video would require 2 clicks. So we might improve it to only load if the video is visible in the browser scroll position on mobile, but then the video would show in a loading phase, so we will discuss this in our team first.
Either way, FV Player is comaptible witch deferred JavaScript loading, so if you do that (we use WP Rocket to cache our website and optimize CSS/JS delivery), loading the file won’t slow down the page display which is what Google PageSpeed values the most.
Thanks,
Martin
