Unlike other YouTube plugins, It doesn’t replace your on-page video embed code with JavaScript/HTML code. Loading a video with JavaScript doesn’t provide any video SEO benefit as a search engine crawler will only see some code instead of the actual video object.
Simple YouTube Embed is easy to use because there is no setting to configure. It uses the oEmbed API so your videos will be responsive and provide all the benefits that core WordPress YouTube embed has to offer. YouTube videos on your website will continue to work even if you choose to deactivate the plugin.

<h3>How to Use the YouTube Embed Plugin in WordPress</h3>
Create a new post/page and add a YouTube block. Copy and paste the YouTube video URL into it. For example:
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g
</code></pre>
YouTube Video Autoplay
In order to automatically play a video you can add “autoplay=1” to your YouTube URL.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&autoplay=1
</code></pre>
Related YouTube Videos
In order to disable related videos from showing you can add “rel=0” to your YouTube URL.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&rel=0
</code></pre>
YouTube Video Controls
If you do not want to show player controls you can add “controls=0” to your YouTube URL.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&controls=0
</code></pre>
YouTube Video Fullscreen
If you do not want to allow fullscreen option in the player you can add “fs=0” to your YouTube URL.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&fs=0
</code></pre>
YouTube Video Mute
To start a video in the muted state you can add “mute=1” to your YouTube URL.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&mute=1
</code></pre>
YouTube Video Playlist
If you want to turn a video into a single-video playlist you can add “playlist=VIDEO_ID” to your YouTube URL.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&playlist=Vpg9yizPP_g
</code></pre>
YouTube Video IV Load Policy
To not show video annotations by default you can add “iv_load_policy=3” to your YouTube URL.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&iv_load_policy=3
</code></pre>
Video annotations are shown by default.
<h3>YouTube Advanced Parameters</h3>
With the Advanced Parameters extension you can use additional advanced parameters in your YouTube videos.
color
This parameter specifies the color that will be used in the player’s video progress bar to highlight the amount of the video that the viewer has already seen.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&color=white
</code></pre>
Valid parameter values are red and white, and, by default, the player uses the color red in the video progress bar.
Note: Setting the color parameter to white will disable the modestbranding option.
disablekb
Setting this parameter’s value to 1 causes the player to not respond to keyboard controls. The default value is 0.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&disablekb=1
</code></pre>
end
This parameter specifies the time, measured in seconds from the start of the video, when the player should stop playing the video. The parameter value is a positive integer.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&end=10
</code></pre>
The time is measured from the beginning of the video and not from the value of the start player parameter.
start
This parameter causes the player to begin playing the video at the given number of seconds from the start of the video. The parameter value is a positive integer.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&start=5
</code></pre>
loop
This parameter causes the video to play repeatedly. The parameter value is a positive integer (e.g. loop=”1″).
In order for the loop feature to work, the video needs to be turned into a single-video playlist as well.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&playlist=Vpg9yizPP_g&loop=1
</code></pre>

Simple YouTube Embed

Embed YouTube videos in WordPress beautifully. Embed YouTube video with a URL or shortcode and customize the player using this YouTube embed plugin.

WordPress.org

This plugin optimizes the loading of images (and videos) with prioritization to improve <a href="https://web.dev/articles/lcp" rel="nofollow ugc">Largest Contentful Paint</a> (LCP), lazy loading, and more accurate image size selection.
The current optimizations include:
<ol>
<li>Add breakpoint-specific <code>fetchpriority=high</code> preload links (both as <code>LINK[rel=preload]</code> elements and <code>Link</code> response headers) for image URLs of LCP elements:
<ol>
<li>An <code>IMG</code> element, including the <code>srcset</code>/<code>sizes</code> attributes supplied as <code>imagesrcset</code>/<code>imagesizes</code> on the <code>LINK</code>.</li>
<li>The first <code>SOURCE</code> element with a <code>type</code> attribute in a <code>PICTURE</code> element. (Art-directed <code>PICTURE</code> elements using media queries are not supported.)</li>
<li>An element with a CSS <code>background-image</code> inline <code>style</code> attribute.</li>
<li>An element with a CSS <code>background-image</code> applied with a stylesheet (when the image is from an allowed origin).</li>
<li>A <code>VIDEO</code> element’s <code>poster</code> image.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Ensure <code>fetchpriority=high</code> is only added to an <code>IMG</code> when it is the LCP element across all responsive breakpoints.</li>
<li>Add <code>fetchpriority=low</code> to <code>IMG</code> tags which appear in the initial viewport but are not visible, such as when they are subsequent carousel slides.</li>
<li>Lazy loading:
<ol>
<li>Apply lazy loading to <code>IMG</code> tags based on whether they appear in any breakpoint’s initial viewport.</li>
<li>Implement lazy loading of CSS background images added via inline <code>style</code> attributes.</li>
<li>Lazy-load <code>VIDEO</code> tags by setting the appropriate attributes based on whether they appear in the initial viewport. If a <code>VIDEO</code> is the LCP element, it gets <code>preload=auto</code>; if it is in an initial viewport, the <code>preload=metadata</code> default is left; if it is not in an initial viewport, it gets <code>preload=none</code>. Lazy-loaded videos also get initial <code>preload</code>, <code>autoplay</code>, and <code>poster</code> attributes restored when the <code>VIDEO</code> is going to enter the viewport.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Responsive image sizes:
<ol>
<li>Ensure <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2024/10/18/auto-sizes-for-lazy-loaded-images-in-wordpress-6-7/" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>sizes=auto</code></a> is set on <code>IMG</code> tags after setting correct lazy-loading (above).</li>
<li>~~Compute the <code>sizes</code> attribute using the widths of an image collected from URL Metrics for each breakpoint (when not lazy-loaded since then handled by <code>sizes=auto</code>).~~ (This has been removed due to an <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/performance/issues/2098" rel="nofollow ugc">issue</a>; use <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/auto-sizes/" rel="ugc">Enhanced Responsive Images instead</a>.)</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Reduce the size of the <code>poster</code> image of a <code>VIDEO</code> from full size to the size appropriate for the maximum width of the video (on desktop).</li>
</ol>
This plugin requires the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/optimization-detective/" rel="ugc">Optimization Detective</a> plugin as a dependency. Please refer to that plugin for additional background on how this plugin works as well as additional developer options.
👉 Note: This plugin optimizes pages for actual visitors, and it depends on visitors to optimize pages. As such, you won’t see optimizations applied immediately after activating the plugin. Please wait for URL Metrics to be gathered for both mobile and desktop visits. And since administrator users are not normal visitors typically, optimizations are not applied for admins by default.
Your site must have the REST API accessible to unauthenticated frontend visitors since this is how metrics are collected about how a page should be optimized. There are currently no settings and no user interface for this plugin since it is designed to work without any configuration.

Image Prioritizer

Prioritizes the loading of images and videos based on how they appear to actual visitors: adds fetchpriority, preloads, lazy-loads, and sets sizes.
