Hello,

I work a lot on the speed of my website.
I use the jch optimize extension to defer and make asynchronus my js files it also compresses in one file all my js. That way jsh optimize eliminates all my render blocking scripts.
Unfortunatly the jwplayer files are not processed by jchoptimize and remain in the head. They are considered as render blocking by google page speed tool.
It would be geat if I could do something about it and gain 5 points on google's page speed test which is very good for SEO purpose as well.

Do you know if I could do something or expect a new release improving that matter ?

Just to let you know the figures :
On my bebsite without JWallvideo enable google page speed test is :
8% better on desktops, and 11% better on mobiles
developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed
That's something no ? It's a pity for SEO as google uses this indicator in its algorithm

I'd really like to know if it is possible to solve that problem. If anyone can help ?

Hello there,

Can you send me a link to your site?
Are you using self-hosted videos or embeds?

Hey hello Kritor,

Unfortunatly I desactivated jwallvideo plugin.
I am using OSembed instead so unfortunatly you can't see the problem anymore on my website www.tourdumondiste.com
But I just checked your demo page of jwallvideo on google page speed test and see the problem is visible as well :
developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdemo.joomlaworks.net%2Fallvideos
It says all thos scripts are render blocking :
demo.joomlaworks.net/media/system/js/mootools.js
demo.joomlaworks.net/media/system/js/caption.js
demo.joomlaworks.net/…allvideos/includes/js/jwp.js.php?v=4.8.0
demo.joomlaworks.net/…includes/js/jwplayer/jwplayer.js?v=4.8.0
mint.joomlaworks.net/mint/?js
In your case it doesn't mean much as you probably don't use an extension such as jchoptimize to optimize the loading of your scripts by merging all js in one, put them at the end of the page make asynchronus ... So it's absolutly normal they are render bocking
In JCHoptimize documentation www.jch-optimize.net/documentation/tutorials.html#eliminate-render-blocking
It says :

Additionaly, maybe some files are being loaded from other javascript codes. Because these files are not embedded in the HTML, they can not be optimized by the plugin and will remain blocking.

That's probably what's happening right ?

I had only embed videos not self hosted
I am still interested in your answer as I like jwallvideo and might be happy the reenable it

Hi @Kritor,

This remains an ongoing and outstanding problem:
