Overview
Eco-Shield is the ultra-lightweight solution for faster, greener, and more private WordPress sites.
Standard YouTube and Vimeo embeds are heavy. A single video embed can load over 1.7MB of extra scripts and track your users before they even click play. This hurts your PageSpeed Score, increases bounce rates, and violates strict privacy laws like GDPR.
Eco-Shield fixes this automatically.
It replaces heavy external iframes with a locally hosted, optimized WebP image. The heavy video player (and its tracking cookies) is only loaded when your visitor explicitly clicks “Play.”
