 * Hi,
 * I just adjusted a test page on our website, so that it now loads only a single
   video, with VideoPress, through Elementor.
   Then I went to Google Page Speed and
   checked the performance figures.
 * This mentioned that the VideoPress JS ([https://v0.wordpress.com/js/videojs/videopress-routes.min.js?m=&#8230](https://v0.wordpress.com/js/videojs/videopress-routes.min.js?m=&#8230);)
   takes over 1 second (triple checked) to load, which actually drops the performance
   mark, compared to the same page with the same video loaded as self hosted, served
   from S3>CloudFront. The page is page cache served, from CloudFront.
 * Is that the expected performance of video loading through VideoPress?
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@schwipps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schwipps/), are both pages
   loading VideoPress from the Elementor video widget? Could you test how it compares
   if you load the video using the default WordPress editor?
 * It’d help to have a closer look at the pages, would you mind sharing the links
   here. If you do not want to post those URLs publicly on this forum, you can contact
   us privately [via this contact form](https://jetpack.com/contact-support/?rel=support&hpi=1).

 * Hi, thanks for your reply.
 * Indeed, I’d like to provide you with private links, through your JetPack website
   contact form. Unfortunately, if I could log into JetPack’s website, I can’t seem
   to remain logged in on the contact support page. So that I can’t send you any
   message.
 * Anyway, in the meantime, I built a page with the same VideoPress video. The issue
   is the same. Your script takes 1 second to load. You can see it from any page
   loading a VideoPress video, even your page, where it takes almost 2 seconds, 
   since you site is slower that ours : [https://jetpack.com/fr/videopress/](https://jetpack.com/fr/videopress/)
 * The way it’s loaded, this script in content render blocking.
 * I think it needs, at least, to be deferred. But still, it will remain a problem
   for videos embedded above the fold.
 * That’s why I think it’d be interesting to explore ways to deliver that script
   as fast as possible.
 * Without that, your plugin remains a great way to add self hosted videos on WordPress
   sites, but which impacts the website’s SEO.
 * Thanks for letting me know when I can deliver you with links.
 * Best Regards,
