Tested all similar plugins. None work. Seriously. At least with BeaverBuilder.
This one instantly works as expected.
Author, or as he wrote “Autor”, of this plugin needs to rewrite the Description of this plugin in English.. not just English words. If this plugin had a well-written Description – it would definitely have a lot of Active installations.
The Description is: “Youtube SpeedLoad allow render in browser youtube players much faster! Youtube SpeedLoad replace standard embed code (< iframe src=”youtube bla-bla-bla…) to thumbs from video with play button.”
This description probably scares everyone from touching it, let alone installing on your website!
But what it means is:
“This plugin improves your website page load speed substantially, by replacing embedded YouTube videos, or YouTube links with a clickable preview image. The image is the original thumbnail extracted from YouTube and features the play button, so users can click to play video. Videos only play when the user clicks on the preview image, so no unnecessary JavaScript is loaded on the page load. It increases your website page load speed, especially on the sites with multiple YT video embeds.”
I researched and compared a lot of different easy-loads for YouTube embeds, and this one is the easiest (once installed, you don’t have to do anything – it’s fully automated), the lightest and reduces the load of your page by .5 to full second! Obviously reduces the weight of YT player and reduces browser requests at the same time. It is as good as it can get..
