Speed settings for embedded audio

Lazy load for embedded audio from Soundcloud already works on your blog. But to make loading lazy the player must be below the fold. The current position of the player is above the fold and that’s why the advantage of lazy load can’t work, because the player is already visible. Move the player below the fold and lazy load will work.

Comprende? ??

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I understand the concept yes.
But maybe I don’t have the good definition of ‘above and below the fold’.
I thought that anything that isn’t visible immediately, that requires scrolling, is considered below the fold. On mobile, this embedded audio is below the fold if I follow this definition.

And if I need to put this embedded code further in my page, it doesn’t make a lot of sense for users, I think. But it’s another problem. Not yours ??

Basically you are right, but “above the fold” is relative and depends on screen size/resolution. That is why the player is below the fold on mobile devices, but not on desktop screens on startup. To make it perfect so it works perfect on each device you need a quite different type of theme. Your theme is responsive. That is okay, but the code for each device is always the same, so you can’t place the code for player on a different location depending on the device. This can only be done with themes that uses “RESS”. RESS == Responsive Design with Server Side Includes. With RESS themes you can generate different code for different devices and only with this kind of technology you can make it perfect.

In your case the only solution is to move the player below the fold, sorry.

Example for a RESS theme (not WordPress): https://www.speedtemplate.de

Ok. It’s good to know.
I moved the player below the fold. Pagespeed is better now.

Thanks for your time. Very efficient as always!!

You are welcome! ??
