Video and Audio Clips

I have a page that has a few embedded youtube videos and a few html audio clips.

It's destroying Google page speed score.

I usually don't add media to a page site so I was hoping for suggestions on how to better tackle this.

Any guidance would be very appreciated :)

To increase the speed, use fewer videos per page.

Hi John,
to resolve the problem don't embed directly the video from Youtube but use this method:

Thank you Nicolajazz!!!!

Pablo - when you choose the lightbutton option with thumbnail - does the video element load or just the thumbnail until it is clicked?

In that case only the thumbnail will be loaded.

I am not sure about that. This may also depend on the browser.
