site scores worse by activating plugin

  • When using pagespeed.web.dev it doesn’t stop the loading of jscipt for youtube and the score actually gets worse than it was without the plugin?
    But when i load I can see that it is loading the the pic… is the test site flawed or am i missing something?

    Hi @matthenue, I’m not sure what the reason is for the lower score. Figuring this out would require identifying what exactly changes on your site when you have the plugin activated and not activated.

    I’m seeing that your site is loading a bunch of heavy JavaScript: Spotify, jQuery and Lodash. Those scripts will most likely still load even you disable Lazy Load for Videos though.

    For comparison, I’m running the plugin on my site and get a score of 97 even though I haven’t optimized this page for years. It runs with the latest version of Lazy Load for Videos: https://pagespeed.web.dev/report?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kweber.com%2Flazy-load-videos%2F

    Thanks for the reply.
    I saw on the list that the youtube script was still being loaded so was checking i hadn’t set it up wrong.
