“Renders faster than a sneeze.” This plugin is based on Paul Irish’s script for embedding YouTube videos. Provide videos with a supercharged focus on visual performance. This custom element renders just like the real thing but approximately 224X faster.

In the text mode (not visual) of your editor (or in the Document mode – not Block, if using Gutenberg) insert the following code <lite-youtube videoid="ogfYd705cRs"></lite-youtube>, where ogfYd705cRs is the ID of the video you’d like to embed.
