<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.

<p>Skip page reloads and separate error screens when posting comments. Ajaxify Comments hooks into your native WordPress comment system and allows comment posting without a page reload. Lazy loading is also supported, which can help speed up your page load time.</p>
<h3>TLDR</h3>
<p><a href="https://docs.dlxplugins.com/v/ajaxify-comments/first-time-users/getting-started" rel="nofollow ugc">Getting Started</a> | <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/DLXPlugins" rel="nofollow ugc">Sponsor Us</a> | <a href="https://dlxplugins.com/plugins/ajaxify-comments" rel="nofollow ugc">Ajaxify Home</a></p>
<p>Ajaxify Comments hooks into your theme and improves the usability of the comment form by validating and adding comments without the need of page reloads. Users can remain on the page and interact with new comments as they’re posted. This plugin also supports lazy loading of comments, which can help speed up your page load time.</p>
<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>When submitting the comment form, WordPress by default reloads the entire page. This can be a disorienting experience for the user. In the case of errors in the comment (invalid email, duplicate comment, empty comment), these often require a separate error screen and the user has to use the back button to edit their comment. This can be a frustrating experience for the user. Adding to that, comments can be resource intensive, and can slow down your page load time.</p>
<p>With Ajaxify Comments, comments are posted without a page reload. If there are errors, the error message is shown immediately, so the user can correct their comment.</p>
<p>Ajaxify Comments also comes with lazy loading of the comments section. For a page with a lot of comments, this can speed things up considerably. You can load comments when the DOM is ready or when the comment section is scrolled into view.</p>
<p>Moreover this plugin includes an option to automatically refresh the comments on the current page while the user stays on your page without requiring a page reload. This can be helpful in busy comment sections where reply response time is important.</p>

<h3>Requirements and Compatibility</h3>
<p>Please use the native WordPress comment system with Ajaxify Comments.</p>
<p>The plugin has integrations with:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/confetti/" rel="ugc">Confetti</a> – Show confetti when a comment is posted.</li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-comment-editing/" rel="ugc">Comment Edit Core</a> – Allow users to edit their comments.</li>
<li><a href="https://dlxplugins.com/plugins/comment-edit-pro/" rel="nofollow ugc">Comment Edit Pro</a> – Add numerous utilities and automations to your comment section.</li>
</ol>
<p>The following themes are supported out of the box:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/astra/" rel="ugc">Astra</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/blocksy/" rel="ugc">Blocksy</a></li>

<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/neve/" rel="ugc">Neve</a></li>
<li>Twenty Ten – Twenty Twenty Three</li>
</ol>
<p>Ajaxify Comments should be compatible with most block themes. If <a href="https://docs.dlxplugins.com/v/ajaxify-comments/first-time-users/menu-helper" rel="nofollow ugc">Menu Helper</a> can’t find the selectors, please leave a support request.</p>
<h3>Technical Note</h3>
<p>Since the plugin hooks into the theme on client-side to intercept the comment form submit process, and to add new comments without reloading the page, the plugin needs to access the DOM nodes using jQuery selectors. The plugin comes with default values for these selectors that were successfully tested with WordPress’ default themes “Twenty Ten”, “Twenty Eleven”, “Twenty Twelve”, “Twenty Thirteen”, “Twenty Fourteen”, “Twenty Fifteen”, “Twenty Sixteen”. If required, the selectors can be customized to match your theme in the plugin’s settings.</p>

Ajaxify Comments – Ajax and Lazy Loading Comments

This has always been a great plugin. It always worked just fine, even if weweave (the previous owners) stopped maintaining and developing it.

Since DLX plugins took over, it got even better

There’s been a lot of admin UI improvements, and Ronald has showed to be incredibly responsive to implement small additional features that can make life easier.

Sent him a feature request, and was incredibly glad to see that he also judged that it was a useful thing to implement. It took him less than 48h to push it live!

Just excellent

Ajaxify Comments hooks into native WordPress comments and allows comment posting without reloading the page.
