Beschreibung
The default embed block for Youtube videos sucks. It slows down your site. The more videos on the page the more it slow. This single-block plugin fixes that.
Why this block is better than the default one:
- Instead of loading the entire iframe, only the video thumbnail is loaded, resulting in significant performance improvements
- Automatically load the video title as the caption
- The same UI as the default core/embed, and you can use the video title as the caption of the block with one click
- It can be transformed from/to the core embed block.
This plugin also provides a PHP API for developers to render a YouTube video URL as this block; or to automatically transform core/embed YouTube videos into this block.
The simplest example is:
better_youtube_embed_block_render_block( ['url' => 'https://youtu.be/paSXmpHU9K4'] );
The example with all the parameters is:
better_youtube_embed_block_render_block(
[
'url' => 'https://youtu.be/paSXmpHU9K4',
'aspectRatio' => '16/9',
'isMaxResThumbnail' => false,
'caption' => 'My awesome video',
'echo' => false,
]
);
To automatically transform all core/embed YouTube videos on your site to this block, you need to put the following code into your wp-config.php or in your theme, plugin:
define('BYEB_SPEED_UP_YOUTUBE_VIDEOS', true);
or
add_filter( 'byeb_speed_up_youtube_videos', '__return_true' );
Please check out this page to see how fast it helps. The page contains around 30 embedded Youtube videos but they don’t slow down the page.
