TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who embed videos from services like YouTube, Vimeo, or Dailymotion on their pages. It solves the problem of slow page performance and high data transfer caused by embeds loading all their resources immediately, by deferring that loading until the viewer clicks to play.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Lazy Embed

Nope, install the plugin and you are good to go. There are some filters available for modifying the behaviour though.

Yes you can, add the "lazy-embed-ignore" class to the iframe itself or using the gutenberg editor

Browsers have become more restrictive around autoplaying a video. The first click on a video never reaches the video host, so they then show the default thumbnail. After the first time a Lazy Embed is interacted with, subsequent videos from that provider will not require a second load.

The thumbnails are cached to improve the performance (uncached frontend pages) and reduce the emissions (less requests to the video platform) of the Lazy Embed plugin. The cache is known as transients. You can clear the transient cache using a plugin like WP-Sweep

It could be for one of a few reasons. A thumbnail for the embed could not be retrieved. If this is the case, send us a message with the video and we will take a look
