Description
When adding a podcast player to a page, the file "components.min.js" is being enqueued.
77% percent of this file is not used, and this is a pretty big file. According to the DevTools coverage tool, more then 0.5MB of this file is not being used:
It makes it the first opportunity to come up in the Lighthouse report.
Maybe there is a more efficient way for enabling the podcast player?
Contributor guide
Research direction

Done means proposing and implementing a more efficient loading approach for the podcast player, with its performance impact verified.
