defer loading script

The script is deferred by default and shouldn’t slow the loading of the page at all. Depending on how you measure the page load, this could be a false positive on slow loading. See this support article we made about this: https://support.swarmify.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043736033-Why-is-my-page-slower-after-installing-SmartVideo-

Ok i Understand, but this is showing up in google page speed https://snipboard.io/FLg2bs.jpg

Ideally also, i want to defer the whole script because I want to prevent videos loading until the DOM is ready and loaded (then i can avoid using a lazy load)

We already handle lazy loading videos so if you are also doing that on your side, you can remove that functionality as the double lazy load causes the videos to load even slower.

As for why the deferred loading isn’t working in your case, would like to investigate further with you but will need some info about your website.

Since this is a public forum, might be best to send a support request to [email protected] and we can interact there to look at the site and figure it out. Just reference our discussion on the WordPress forum and they will make sure it gets assigned to me for continuity.
