This plugin is slowing down my page load speed and customers are complaining. Is there a way to correct that? My mobile speed rating is 40! That is terrible, Here is a report from PageSpeed: Some third-party embeds can be lazy loaded. Consider replacing them with a facade until they are required.

I do not see any settings that can be used to test other settings to improve, it seems like a script thing within the plugin. Hi @hamadata , I am sorry for the low performance scores you received while using our plugin. In this case, I would recommend adding the YouTube feed scripts to the deferred loading list in your WordPress optimization plugin. You can exclude the scripts: wp-content/plugins/feeds-for-youtube/css/sb-youtube-free.min.css wp-content/plugins/feeds-for-youtube/js/sb-youtube.min.js You can check your optimization plugin settings/instructions for how to exclude the scripts from optimization. After doing the above your performance scores should increase. Please let me know if you have questions. Regards 🙂
