<p><strong>FTMPUB Media Slider</strong> lets you create responsive image sliders from your WordPress media library with an easy-to-use interface.</p>
<p>The plugin registers a custom taxonomy to group images into sliders and provides a shortcode <code>[ftmpub_media_slider]</code> for displaying them anywhere — classic editor, block editor, Elementor, etc. Each slider uses native horizontal scrolling with snap: configure columns, rows, and image height per device (desktop, tablet, mobile), plus autoplay, arrows, dots, lazy loading, width, and gap. Images are selected through the media picker and can be reordered via drag and drop. A live preview is available in the admin.</p>

<p>This plugin improves page load time and increases your Google PageSpeed Score. It works with oEmbed and replaces embedded Youtube and Vimeo videos with a clickable preview image.<br />
By loading videos only when the user clicks on the preview image, no unnecessary JavaScript is loaded. Especially on sites with many embedded videos this will make your visitors happy. Additionally, all Youtube videos are loaded in a privacy-enhanced mode using the “https://www.youtube-nocookie.com” embed URL.</p>
<p>This plugin works for your existing YouTube and Vimeo blocks. No vendor lock-in and no custom shortcodes: Easily turn the plugin on and off anytime.</p>

Lazy Load for Videos

We have pages with multiple videos and that slowed down the page load and increased network traffic. This plugin improved it a lot. Reduced blocking of some pages with seconds and reduced the page load from 3MB to 1,3MB.



Works great


I noticed Squarespace has a much slicker way of loading and showing embedded videos, and I wanted it.   This plugin works perfectly to provide it so that my video portfolio page loads faster and looks better.  Thanks to the developer!


Simple solution for making video pages fast like Squarespace

Boost page speed by replacing embedded YouTube and Vimeo videos with a clickable preview image. Video scripts only load on click.
