The thumbnail and title are visible on the webpage (in the Lyte player) while the description is in the HTML as microdata for search engines optimization reasons (see below). In this case WP YouTube Lyte contacts YouTube to ask it for the thumbnail, the title and the description of the video you added. The plugin is fully multi-language, with support for Catalan, Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Romanian, Spanish and Slovene.įeedback is welcome see info in the faq for bug reports/ feature requests and feel free to rate and/or report on compatibility on .įAQ Why does WP YouTube Lyte need to access the YouTube API? What is an API anyway?Īn API is a way to have two pieces of software talk to each other to exchange information. Starting with version 1.2.0 lyte embeds are fully responsive and can automatically embed videoObject microdata as well. WP YouTube Lyte has been written with optimal performance as primary goal, but has been tested for maximum browser-compatibility (iPad included) while keeping an eye on accessibility. httpv://(video player, start playing at 20 seconds and don’t show title).httpv://(video player, one size smaller than what’s configured as default).httpv://youtu.be/_SQkWbRublY (video insluiting met youtube-shortlink).Alternatively you can add a YouTube-link for a video or an entire playlist with “httpv” instead of “http(s)” or add a Lyte widget to your sidebar and WP YouTube Lyte replaces that link with the correct performance-optimized code. The plugin picks up on normal YouTube links, taking over from WordPress core’s oEmbed. As such LYTE embedded YouTube videos do not require requests to the YouTube servers, probably (I am not a lawyer) allowing for better GDPR-compliance.
The plugin can be configured to cache YouTube thumbnails locally, improving both performance and privacy. These look and feel like normal embedded YouTube, but only call the “fat” YouTube-player when clicked on, thereby reducing download size & rendering time substantially when embedding YouTube occasionally and improving page performance dramatically when you’ve got multiple YouTube video’s on one and the same page.
WP YouTube Lyte allows you to “lazy load” your video’s, by inserting responsive “Lite YouTube Embeds”.
