<p>Fast video embeds for YouTube. Nothing loads until click.</p>
<p>Trademark note: this is a third-party plugin and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google.</p>
<p>Before the visitor clicks, the frontend loads only local resources from the site:</p>

<li>local HTML markup;</li>
<li>local CSS from the plugin;</li>

<p>This can help reduce external frontend requests, improve perceived loading performance, and provide a more privacy-friendly default behavior for embedded YouTube videos.</p>
<p>Important: this plugin is a technical privacy/performance aid. It does not constitute legal advice and does not by itself guarantee compliance with privacy laws. Site owners remain responsible for their own privacy notices, consent setup, and legal assessment.</p>
