Is there a leaner version of videojs (minified) available, which offers basic functionality which <video> does, with support of adaptive bitrate streaming?

Description

On our websites, when the landing page has videos, the lighthouse score computed by Google's tools, never passes. It is typically throttled to slow 4G, and 200KB of videojs itself ends up taking 3-10 seconds, based on our experiments.

For strong core web vitals, we need to have everything rendered well within 2.5s, apart from other stuff being optimised.

Please share your recommendations.

ABR is one of the biggest parts of any player. If that's not an autoplaying video, my recommendation would be to have a placeholder image and load the player only when it is clicked.
