Açıklama
If you care about performance, privacy, and user experience, this block is for you.
This plugin enhances the default YouTube and Vimeo blocks—including any existing blocks—and changes their behavior to only load the video thumbnail until a visitor chooses to play the video.
Features
- Load YouTube videos faster (uses the
lite-youtubecustom-element) - Load Vimeo videos faster (uses the
lite-viemocustom-element) - Loads YouTube videos from nocookie.youtube.com for enhanced privacy
- Works without JavaScript (shows link to video instead in a player-like design)
- No plugin lock-in! Automatically improves the core Embed block. Turn the plugin off and the behavior goes back to the WordPress default.
Want more features?
I’m considering building a PRO version with the potential following features:
- Options to set a custom start and end time
- Custom thumbnail images for videos
- Custom aspect ratios for videos
- Support for YouTube shorts
- Control whether to load video from nocookie.youtube.com or not
- Adjust the image quality of the thumbnail
- Support for playlists, not just single videos
- Full support for all YouTube query parameters (https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters)
- Classic Editor / [embed] shortcode support
If enough people express interest, I’ll build it! Let me know if you’re interested!

SSS
-
Does this create a new block?
-
No. It enhances the default WordPress Embed block for YouTube and Vimeo videos.
-
Does it automatically enhance all my YouTube and Vimeo embeds?
-
It works for any embeds using the YouTube or Vimeo variations of the Embed block. Embeds using the [embed] shortcode or literal YouTube embed code in HTML are not enhanced. Using the core WordPress Embed block is highly recommended!
-
Why don’t Google and Vimeo load all their videos this way by default?
-
Great question! It sure seems like they should. If I had to guess, they are prioritizing usage tracking over fast load times and privacy.
-
What happens if I deactivate the plugin?
-
Your embed blocks go back to how they were before.
-
Does this support the Classic Editor / the [embed] shortcode?
-
Not right now. If you’d pay for a PRO version with this feature, let me know.
