    Elementor radically changed the way YouTube videos are embedded in one of their last releases, resulting in LYTE (and many other similar solutions) don’t work any more. If you want you can try/ use the code snippet I created to force Elementor back in line; https://blog.futtta.be/2021/02/13/fix-for-elementor-3-1-youtube-not-lyte-anymore/

    hope this helps,

    The story starts with a issue called as ‘reduce the impact of third-party code in page Speed insight

    This occurred when I embedded the YouTube video on my page with elementor video widget

    This drastically reduced my speed and score in page Speed insight

    After researching I came across some plugin like wp youtube lyte and wp rocket ??

    I use wp rocket

    There’s a option in wp rocket to replace the YouTube iframe with preview image, which I turned on

    But unfortunately it didn’t worked for me,

    I even used wp youtube lyte but no change in speed and score it was still worse

    There’s was no change in speed after I turned the video optimization in respectively plugins

    The page was build with elementor

    Then I started to test

    In test 1

    (Wp rocket ‘YouTube iframe with preview image’ was turned on)

    I made a page (blank canvas) with the native wordpress editor and only embedded the YouTube video(only pasted the link in Gutenberg block editor and published),

    then I saw that the Google page insight score were amazing and there were no issues about the third party code impact

    After that

    I removed the option/turn off the option in wp rocket about replace the YouTube iframe with preview image.

    The score went worse and it showed the issue of third-party impact

    Still I am using the blank canvas build in test 1

    Then I again turned the option on and Page speed insight score improved

    This tells that the wp rocket and wp YouTube lyte was working properly

    Test 2

    This time I created a blank page with elementor and I embedded only the YouTube video using the video widget in elementor and this time the wp rocket ‘replace the YouTube iframe with preview image’ was turned on

    I checked the scores and I found the score and speed were still worse and showed the error

    Reduce the impact of third-party code

    Screenshot of the error
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/17d8NYnJ06G9VRcLZpvtr_ojqjs7Cbav5/view?usp=drivesdk

    This show that there’s something bug in the elementor video widget that doesn’t allow wp rocket and wp YouTube lyte to optimise the YouTube video for speed or replace the iframe

    Hope you understand

    Please ?? anybody fix this issue

    I embedd a lot of video and I use elementor

    Inspite of turning on the optimization options (replace YouTube iframe with preview image) in wp rocket

    elementor video widget slow down the website
    And shows the error in page Speed insight

    There’s is a way around for this issue/alternative

    Use text editor widget in elementor
    Place the link of YouTube video directly in the text editor
    Then YouTube video will be embedded
    Then it will be optimised by wp rocket

    But there’s no much styling option
    It’s not well optimised in terms of design
    You can use the features you get in video widget elementor

    Please fix this issue as soon as possible
    Eagerly waiting for your reply
