- Youtube-nocookie is adding a lot of data transfer to the page load. The player scripts is around 500Kb (compressed, file is 1.6MB uncompressed).

- PLANET-5969 – Cookies setup function crashes when there is no cookie banner
- When there is no cookie text set in the site settings, the cookie banner is not rendered and this causes the new Javascript setupCookies function to crash. As a result there are some issues on the site (for instance some images are not loaded).

- For other screen sizes the combination of height + font size is able to fit long titles, however between 991 and 1200 px the font is too large compared to the height and the title gets pushed beyond the top
- PLANET-5960 – Timeline block breaks the editing of media blocks
- A Timeline block can break the editing process of other blocks, probably by a loading Lodash in the Underscore object “_”.
