This plugin provides page optimisations for pages and posts which have embedded Youtube, Vimeo or Daily Motion videos which have been added using the core embed block.
Without this plugin, when using the core embed block, when your page loads, lots of external scripts and styles are loaded from the embed service, regardless of whether a visitor actually interacts with the embedded video.
This plugin prevents these scripts and styles from loading until the user actually interacts with the video. It does this by replacing the video embed, on page load with the video thumbnail image (added on Youtube, Vimeo or Daily Motion). When a user clicks the thumbnail the embedded video, along with associated scripts and styles are loaded.

Better Core Video Embeds


This is an example of an excellent plugin. Just activate and get immediate enhancement when using the embed blocks from WordPress. If deactivated, everything still works as before, but then without the enhancement. No "lock in":


Does what it says without any fuzz. Very good!

A plugin which enhances the core embed block for Youtube, Daily Motion and Vimeo videos by not loading unnecessary scripts until they are needed.

<h4>The Vimeo plugin for WordPress that imports, embeds, and organizes your videos</h4>
Vimeotheque helps you bring Vimeo into WordPress the right way: import videos as posts, auto-sync collections (channels, showcases, portfolios, folders, user uploads), and display beautiful, responsive players and playlists with Gutenberg blocks or shortcodes. Perfect for membership sites, portfolios, online courses and video libraries.
Highlights 
– Import & Sync – Single videos or bulk from channels, showcases, groups, portfolios, folders, user uploads, or Vimeo search. 
– Video as Content – Creates complete WP posts (title, description, thumbnail, embed) using a dedicated <code>vimeo-video</code> post type. 
– Blocks & Shortcodes – Add single videos, set video position in posts, or build playlists with native Gutenberg blocks. Classic Editor shortcode included. 
– Responsive & Fast – Uses the latest Vimeo HTML5 player, lazy-load options, “one-video-at-a-time” playback to avoid conflicts, and a no-tracking embed parameter. 
– Elementor-friendly – Works cleanly inside Elementor layouts; playlists and single embeds drop into any section/column. 
– Templates (optional) – Enable the plugin’s template system or override in your theme for full design control.
Use cases 
– Membership / LMS – Embed lessons and restrict access with your membership/LMS plugin. 
– Portfolio / Showcase – Auto-sync a Vimeo showcase/portfolio to your site. 
– Blog / Magazine – Import as posts and surface videos in archives and widgets.
