@nathanjkim-codes The issue seems to be represented by Fetch instead of post. She my screenshot. To replicate,
- go to the page https://www.hackforla.org/events/
- click network tab
- see many resources trying to fetch from youtube
Details
@ExperimentsInHonesty Thank you for the clarification.
I retested the Events page using the Fetch/XHR filter in the Network tab on Chrome/Windows.
I was able to see multiple YouTube-related fetch requests during the initial page load. However, after waiting, the requests did not continue increasing on my machine.
The request count stayed at 250/344.
Please let me know if there is anything else I should check.

@nathanjkim-codes Is that a normal amount? I agree its not continusiously loading, but lets make sure we have solved all loading problems with this video.
The TED Talk video player appears to be functioning normally. HLS manifests are requested a limited number of times, media segments load sequentially without restarting, all requests return successful responses, and network activity ceases when playback ends. No evidence of the previously observed continuous reload/fetch loop was found during testing.

Prerequisite
Overview
We need to check if there are further steps necessary for resolving the continuous POST requests on the Events page. If this issue is not addressed a confusing user experience will persist, with continuous loading circle around favicon and extra bandwidth could be wasted. On slower internet connection, users may experience extra lag
