<p>YouTube iframe embeds often load many unnecessary resources, which slows down your page. YEP: Optimize YouTube Embeds is a lightweight WordPress plugin that replaces YouTube iframes with a clickable preview image.<br />
The actual video loads only when the user clicks the play button, improving page load times and reducing initial page size.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin uses the external YouTube thumbnail service (https://i.ytimg.com) to display preview images of YouTube videos.<br />
When a page with a YouTube embed is loaded, the plugin requests the thumbnail image directly from YouTube servers.<br />
No personal data is sent from your site to YouTube, only the video ID (already public in the YouTube URL).</p>

YEP: Optimize YouTube Embeds

Automatic YouTube Gallery


I have two licenses for two websites and I would buy a third license just to support the developer. The plugin works exactly as described, never causes any problems and can easily be extended with filters. One very positive thing is the fact that new features are constantly being added, such as the deep links for better SEO.



I would like to especially highlight the outstanding support by mail. I have had several questions over the years, and the answers have always been quick and competent.


Excellent plugin, Awesome support
