embedded video, many loading issue

  • Hello

    I run a blog with allot of videos
    I want my youtube videos to be embedded into the blog
    Tho the site gets quite heavy when allot of videos is posted.

    Is there a way to make the videos not load until the reader clicks on the specific video. but still show that there is an video…?

    anyone?

    but that dident tell me anything about how to make the videos not load when loading the page.

    having a full site with lots of embedded videos makes the site load slow.
    i want each video to load when being clicked on.

    ive seen it on other sites when they have issues of being slow
    becouse of the high content of embedded videos.

    Hi Behedwin,

    Can you paste some sample code you are using for video embedding? Embedded YouTube videos by default are not set to auto start. A typical embedding code looks like the below:

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kU18F6yTuHo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    If you embed the above code in a new HTML file the video will not auto load. It only auto loads if you add ?autoplay=1 at the end of the video URL will auto play, like the below:

    src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kU18F6yTuHo?autoplay=1"

    So check your embedding code properly, or else it might be a theme or plugin setting.
