<p><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong>  Vimeo has changed its API. Versions of this plugin earlier than 2.0 are dependent on the old API and will cease to function in September 2009.  You must upgrade to plugin v2.0 for your video badge to function properly.  v2.0 provides backward compatibility, so you should not need to change your plugin calls to match the new API.</p>
<p>A non-JavaScript badge generator for videos in one’s vimeo account.  This behaves similarly to the flickrrss plugin.  Although the name of the plugin is VimeoRSS, it uses the xml feed provided by the simple API of vimeo.  You can call this plugin multiple times for different users and feed types.  This plugin can be used for groups, channels, and albums.</p>
<p>Version 2.1 brings support for <a href="http://www.shadowbox-js.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Shadowbox</a> (lightbox functionality; off by default) and user-defined default width and height of the Shadowbox and Zoombox players (all must be set at the top of the plugin file itself).</p>

<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

Hi there,
your plugin ist really great! It kills several problems with one stone for me.
Very nice!
Keep up your good work and thanks very mutch for this plugin.

:-)

Very cool!


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.
