Better Core Video Embeds

This plugin provides page optimisations for pages and posts which have embedded Youtube, Vimeo or Daily Motion videos which have been added using the core embed block. Without this plugin, when using the core embed block, when your page loads, lots of external scripts and styles are loaded from the embed service, regardless of whether a visitor actually interacts with the embedded video. This plugin prevents these scripts and styles from loading until the user actually interacts with the video. It does this by replacing the video embed, on page load with the video thumbnail image (added on Youtube, Vimeo or Daily Motion). When a user clicks the thumbnail the embedded video, along with associated scripts and styles are loaded.

Encute

Encute provides a fluent, declarative API for site owners to manipulate the scripts and styles that WordPress, themes, and plugins shove onto their site. Move things into the footer, defer loading, remove assets entirely. Or load scripts async, or as modules, or as nomodule! Here’s an example of how you could use the plugin: is_page('contact'); Script::get('contact-form-7')->keepIf($isContactPage)->footer()->defer(); Style::get('contact-form-7')->keepIf($isContactPage)->footer()->defer(); Style::get(['mediaelement', 'wp-mediaelement'])->footer()->defer(); Style::get('material-icons')->defer(); Script::get('jquery')->remove(); }); Wrapper Always run code in this wrapper: add_action(\CWS\Encute\Plugin::class, function (\CWS\Encute\Plugin $encute) { // Your code here. }); This wrapper will be a no-op if Encute is not available, and it will both wait for Encute to be available to run, and pass you Encute’s main class instance. Fluency Both Script::get() and Style::get() return an instance of themselves, as do all calls to their methods, so you can just chain your calls. Script static CWS\Encute\Script::get(string $handle): CWS\Encute\Script — get a Script instance for that handle. CWS\Encute\Script::module(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script a module. CWS\Encute\Script::noModule(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script nomodule. CWS\Encute\Script::footer(): CWS\Encute\Script — send the script to the footer (along with its entire dependency family). CWS\Encute\Script::async(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script async. CWS\Encute\Script::defer(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script defer. CWS\Encute\Script::remove(): CWS\Encute\Script — remove the script. CWS\Encute\Script::removeIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Script — remove the script if the callback resolves as true. CWS\Encute\Script::keepIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Script — keep the script if the callback resolves as true (else remove it). Style static CWS\Encute\Style::get(string $handle): CWS\Encute\Style — get a Style instance for that handle. CWS\Encute\Style::footer(): CWS\Encute\Style — send the style to the footer (along with its entire dependency family). CWS\Encute\Style::defer(): CWS\Encute\Style — defer the style’s loading. CWS\Encute\Style::remove(): CWS\Encute\Style — remove the style. CWS\Encute\Style::removeIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Style — remove the style if the callback resolves as true. CWS\Encute\Style::keepIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Style — keep the style if the callback resolves as true (else remove it).
