Velocity is an alternative loading method to the standard to YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch and Soundcloud iframe embeds.
With Velocity you will decrease the loading time and increase overall performance of your website by lazy loading media on-demand instead of on initial page load.
To add Velocity to your site, simply create a Velocity shortcode by selecting a preview image and media type using the intuitive shortcode builder then add the generated snippet to your page.

SoundCloud is the new music network on the block that allows users to create, record and share sounds and music with family, friends and the world. SoundClound Master was specially built for wordpress in iframe and integrates perfectly in any widget position and template color scheme.
These are the main options we packed into this extension. SoundCloud player is able to play single tracks, private tracks or full user music sets… nothing better than a nice music playlist, full control over player width and height, full control over color scheme, display the track or music set artwork and, auto-play.
Includes TechGasp BANG! Artwork, new player setting for users with beautiful cover artworks. Awesome.
Easy and intuitive to use. Check the screenshots.
Both the widget and the shortcode framework are fully mobile responsive, a must for any professional website.
