<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to external services to provide video embedding functionality:
Ignite Video OEmbed API 
– Service: https://app.ignitevideo.cloud/api/oembed 
– Purpose: Retrieves video embed metadata and HTML for Ignite Video URLs 
– Data sent: The complete Ignite Video URL that needs to be embedded 
– When: Every time an Ignite Video URL is detected in WordPress content (posts, pages, widgets, etc.) 
– Terms of Service: https://ignite.video/en/terms 
– Privacy Policy: https://ignite.video/en/privacy
Ignite Video Player 
– Service: *.euvideocdn.com player domains (or your custom video domain) 
– Purpose: Hosts and serves the actual video player and content 
– Data sent: No data is sent by the plugin; users’ browsers connect directly to load videos 
– When: When embedded videos are displayed to site visitors 
– Terms of Service: https://ignite.video/en/terms 
– Privacy Policy: https://ignite.video/en/privacy
Note: This plugin only facilitates embedding – it does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All data transmission occurs between the user’s browser and Ignite’s servers according to Ignite’s privacy policy.
<h3>Technical Details</h3>
Architecture: 
The plugin uses WordPress’s built-in OEmbed system combined with a fallback embed handler for maximum compatibility. It first attempts to use the Ignite Video OEmbed API for rich metadata and optimal rendering, then falls back to a manual iframe if needed.
Performance: 
– Minimal overhead – only loads when Ignite Video URLs are detected 
– Caches embed responses using WordPress’s built-in caching 
– 10-second timeout for API requests to prevent slow page loads
Security: 
– All URLs and IDs are properly escaped and validated 
– Uses WordPress’s built-in security functions 
– No permanent data stored – safe to activate and deactivate 
– No database modifications or custom tables
<h3>Support</h3>
For support, please visit: https://ignite.video/en/contact
For technical issues with this WordPress plugin, please check: 
1. That your WordPress version meets the minimum requirements 
2. That the Ignite Video URL format is correct 
3. That your website can make outbound HTTP requests
<h3>Privacy</h3>
This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. When a video is embedded, your browser will connect directly to the Ignite Video servers to load the video player, subject to Ignite Video’s privacy policy.

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. 
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.
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.

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.
