UCF Lazyload Video Plugin #
Description ##
This plugin improves page performance by lazy-loading videos. It enqueues both a JavaScript file and a CSS file. In this version, we added support for lazy-loading YouTube videos. When a YouTube link like or is embedded in the WordPress editor, it automatically displays the video’s default thumbnail with a play button overlay. When the user clicks the play button, the video is loaded directly from YouTube.
To implement it: ##
Simply adding the full YouTube URL will trigger the feature.
Development ##
Note that compiled, minified css and js files are included within the repo. Changes to these files should be tracked via git (so that users installing the plugin using traditional installation methods will have a working plugin out-of-the-box.)
Enabling debug mode in your wp-config.php file is recommended during development to help catch warnings and bugs.
Requirements ##
node v16+
gulp-cli
Fontawesome
Bootstrap
Instructions ##
1. Clone the ucf-lazyload-youtube-plugin repo into your local development environment, within your WordPress installation's plugins/ directory: git clone https://github.com/UCF/ucf-lazyload-video-plugin.git
