Lazy Load for Videos

Well, it’s free, so that’s worth an extra star all by itself, but it doesn’t actually do anything. My site is exactly the same as it was without it. I installed it, set my settings, even changed the play button to “pulsing”, hit the “update posts” button, and load-blocking iframe youtube embeds still display as the same load-blocking iframe youtube embeds they’ve always been. I checked the support forums and there’s a huge notice on top that the plugin is unsupported, so, uh, there goes the extra star it got for being free. A free plugin gets extra stars even if it doesn’t work perfectly, but a totally broken, totally unsupported plugin is 0 stars even if it’s free.

I would have donated if it had worked, too.

На одном сайте этот плагин заработал как надо, а на другом, где видео вставлены через <iframe> работать не стал. Зато с этой задачей прекрасно справился плагин WP YouTube Lyte.

HI Kevin,

We sell 10,000 products and we edit and crate products using the Woocommerce CSV import/export.

This plugin has added 5,000+ columns into the CSV file when it’s exported from Woocommerce…so it crashes the server and Google Sheets and Apple Numbers are unable to open the CSV because the plugin created too many columns.

How can we stop the plugin from creating so much data in the database?

If we uninstall it, will it delete all database data to solve this issue? We don’t see any settings in it that “removes all data upon uninstall” like other plugins…and we don’t know how to stop it from overloading the database other than to remove it…

This plugin improved load times (especially for mobile in my case) on pages that had YouTube videos. It also hasn’t interfered with load times on pages without videos. Jetpack’s and WP Fastest Cache Premium’s lazy load functions INCREASED page loads for some reason (I think they are delaying the loading of featured psot image on one of my themes). Having the option to activate this function for videos only is clutch and is all I needed for my site to perform well.

No lunch or promo but a big thank-you to the author

I have videos with differing aspect ratios (4:3, 2.35:1, 9:16, 2:1, 1.85:1,…). Unfortunately, the plugin always shows the thumbnail in an aspect ratio of 16:9. Is there a way to make the plugin adapt to the aspect ratio of the video?
