Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about SmartVideo – Video Player and CDN
SmartVideo replaces heavy YouTube/Vimeo embeds (hundreds of KB of JavaScript) with a lightweight player served from a global CDN. Pages load faster, Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed scores improve, and videos start playing sooner. The plugin also uses conditional loading — the player script only loads on pages that actually have video.
SmartVideo includes native widgets for Gutenberg (block editor), Elementor, Beaver Builder, Bricks, and Divi 5. Each widget supports full visual editing with live preview. You can also use the [smartvideo] shortcode in any builder or the classic editor.
When you enable auto-convert in settings, SmartVideo detects YouTube and Vimeo embeds on your pages and serves them through the SmartVideo player instead. For Vimeo, the video file is re-encoded and delivered via our CDN. Visitors see a clean, ad-free player with no "Recommended Videos" or third-party branding.
Install the plugin and enable Vimeo auto-convert in settings. All your existing Vimeo embeds will be automatically converted — no need to re-embed anything. Your workflow stays the same.
Video: MP4, HLS (M3U8), MPEG-DASH, WEBM, VP8/9. Audio: MP3, AAC, OPUS.
Yes. SmartVideo 2.2.0 adds a per-page disable toggle in both the Gutenberg editor sidebar and the classic editor. This lets you keep the original embed on specific pages while SmartVideo handles the rest of your site.
Swarmify is a video acceleration company focused on making fast, professional video accessible to any website owner. SmartVideo is our flagship product, combining a clean video player with CDN-powered delivery.
SmartVideo is built for site owners who want fast, professional video without the complexity of managing encoding, CDNs, and player configuration. Whether you're hosting self-hosted video files or replacing YouTube/Vimeo embeds, SmartVideo handles delivery and keeps visitors on your site.
SmartVideo requires a paid account for ongoing use (14-day free trial to start). If you need a completely free solution and are willing to accept third-party branding and related video recommendations, YouTube or Vimeo embeds may be a better fit.
Vimeo places its branding, overlays, and recommendations in your video experience, which can distract viewers and redirect traffic away from your site. As a Vimeo alternative, SmartVideo removes those elements and gives you full control of the player appearance and your brand.
