YouTube placeholders & performance

Hi @james-feaver,

Currently I can’t offer this as a quick win, as in targeting videos with a placeholder URL. However, we have a Gutenberg consent block. Here you can add a YouTube video with HTML, and a custom placeholder.

We are planning on a simple upload function, without needing HTML. I will try my above suggestion as well, I will write an article and let you know if I can get it to work.

regards Aert

Hi @james-feaver,

https://bonus-hurt-5f7df4.instawp.xyz/ this is a quick set-up. I can test a little bit more, write the article and let you know.

Or I can post my progress so far. Let me know, regards Aert

Hi Aert,

Thanks very much for the quick responses. I had a quick play with the link in the second reply. It looks like it does exactly what is needed. No rush, so progress as you feel best.

Thanks,

James

Hi Aert,

A follow question if I may. Is the Consent block included with the Complianz plugin or a premium one? My Complianz dashboard includes a link to an article on it, but I can’t see it in my list of blocks. I am running version 6.4.6

Thanks,

James

Hi @james-feaver,

This is in free;

It’s by default, so there are not settings. It should be there.

@james-feaver I have created a branch which converts each downloaded placeholder to a webp image, and sets that as the default placeholder:

Let me know what you think!

Hi @james-feaver,

As the suggested feature/improvement (WebP placeholders) has now been included in our testing routines: I will mark this thread as resolved for the time being.

Just let us know if you have any further questions!

Kind regards, Jarno

Hi @aahulsebos,

Apologies for the silence, I’ve been on holiday.

I’ve rechecked and don’t get the consent area or legal document blocks. https://snipboard.io/jdCIqr.jpg shows the blocks I get if I type “/com” (as you had). I am running v6.4.7.

Thanks,

James

Hi @rogierlankhorst,

Thanks for the note and to @jarnovos for saying this has gone into testing. I’m no developer so rarely venture into github and haven’t got the first idea how I checkout a branch. If it does what you say “converts each downloaded placeholder to a webp image, and sets that as the default placeholder”, then that sounds perfect. I’m happy to wait for the next release.

Thanks for your efforts.

James
