<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
