How to Optimize CloudflareStream Embed for Load Time - LCP
Hey guys, I've never worked with cloudflare before but a client of mine is using it to deliver their videos to their website.
An example of a page can be seen here: https://www.sketchy.com/medical-lessons/staphylococcus-epidermidis-saprophyticus
They've been having issues passing Core Web Vitals on a lot of their pages, specifically LCP. I've done a lot to improve overall load speed but cloudflare video seems to be the culprit of a lot of render delay.
They're embedding via the stream player: https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/viewing-videos/using-the-stream-player/
Is this the most efficient way to embed from a page speed optimization perspective?
