Description
- When you visit the page "https://learn.wordpress.org/lesson/inside-the-course/' there is a video but in areas with unstable network, the video container takes so long to load and in this way the rest of the page as well. The content being text should load first and be accessible as the learner waits for the video content which also in some cases doesn't load as shown in screenshots below.
