    Hi again,

    First of all, thank you for this plugin.

    Second,
    I’m checking the loading speed of my home page on GTmetrix,
    And when looking at the ‘waterfall’ tab,
    I’ve noticed that the homepage’s html+css+js takes about 2 seconds to load and then another 900ms to load something that is apparently related to the wp-youtube-lyte plugin as the URL mentioned there is:

    “mydomain/wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/lyteCache.php?origThumUrl=…”

    Just wondered if there’s a way to lower this 900ms loading time somehow…

    Thank you so much

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    the background-images (and player UI elements) are load late(r), after the DomContentLoaded event, think of it as lazy-loading. So it’s a feature, not a bug ??

    Thank you again for answering so fast…

    So if I understand you correctly the loading time of the background images does not affect the initial loading time of the page,
    therefore, I shouldn’t be worried that it will affect the page speed score, or google penalty?

    I apologize if it’s a stupid question, I’m doing my first steps here.

    Thank you

    no need to apologize!

    the way LYTE gets renderered should actually be good for your pagespeed score, certainly when compared to normal YT embeds ??
