Google Search Console shows errors

Hello,

I’m having 2 youtube videos on my home page.
Recently, I’ve installed the WP youtube Lyte plugin and since then I’m facing two problems I don’t know how to solve:

1. I got a message from Google Search Console saying the following fields are missing:
“name”, “description”, “uploadDate”, and “thumbnailUrl”.

Please note that:
a. I’m using the plugin with my Youtube API Key, and when installed the plugin checked it ok.
b. To put the youtube link on my homepage I just added this HTML code:
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8_zMEH2sXY

2. when I check the page load speed on PageSpeed Insights I get:
“93” score for desktop which is great!
and “40” for mobile…

the solution according to pagespeed insights is to remove unnecessary javascript, and with more details:
these URL:
1. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/s/player/e49bfb00/player_ias.vflset/en_US/base.js
2. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/s/player/e49bfb00/www-embed-player.vflset/www-embed-player.js

Please help

Thank you
Ishai

tick the “cache thumbnails locally” option, which also tells LYTE to function on mobile (which is does not by default to avoid the dumb double-click-to-play behavior) and all will be well 🙂

Hey, Thank you so much for the quick reply.
I’ve changed the cache thumbnails locally” to “yes” and clicked “save”.

I don’t know if it fixed the Google Search Console errors, since it takes a few days to validate the fix.
But checking the page loading speed on mobile still gives the “40” score and the same solution..

Is there anything more I should try?

purge any page cache (plugin or other) you might have maybe?

That’s weird… I’m using Lite Speed Cache plugin and now I’ve ‘cached all’,
The loading speed for desktop is now worse- “83” and for mobile “68”.

the main issue now seems to be “Reduce initial server response time”

well, if you purge your page cache, your first request for a page will take a tad more time whilst the cache rebuilds, but that’ll fix itself 🙂

Ok, thank you! I will update you on that and on the Google Search Console issue as I’ll get answers from them.

I have another question:

When I put my home page URL on Google Search, and choose ‘videos’-
Aren’t the 2 youtube videos I have there supposed to be on the results page?
because I don’t see them there.

they will, once the Google crawler sees the microdata now that LYTE is used on mobile as well.

OK, I will update you asap.

I must say it is really amazing how fast you reply to the questions on this forum.
Thank you so much for that and for this great plugin.
