<p>Velocity is an alternative loading method to the standard to YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch and Soundcloud iframe embeds.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

I wish it could manually grab the image thumbnail for me and load locally. The manual builder is enough work as it is.

Thank you for this great plugin, though.

works great, missing some key features

<ul>
<li>Single track</li>
<li>User Latest tracks</li>

</ul>
<p>All you need to do is provide the SoundCloud URL straight from your browser and the plugin will display the SoundCloud player!</p>
