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.

I'm really impressed and excited for the potential of this plugin. This plugin connects your WordPress site directly to your Vimeo account. Once connected, you can search all of your Vimeo videos right in your WordPress site, upload new videos, and even create videos (creating videos is an awesome feature!). For e-commerce sites, the plugin also integrates with WooCommerce and videos can be added to the product gallery or a video tab. Videos can even be created automatically from the product images. All types of video settings can be controlled such as displaying the video title, changing the accent color, or uploading a thumbnail image. All of this is done right inside of WordPress. It's a really powerful plugin for Vimeo users.
