Publii is fast, but this can make it faster

Publii is very fast and im proud to use this platform for our blog.

An issue many webmasters face is that when you use video on your site, it really slows down the loading and increases your page size substantially.

A publii site on a fast server can load in half a second.

A publii site with a video embeded can take 2.5 seconds.

Is there a way that we can add a feature that when the video is uploaded it doesnt load the whole player and buffer the video.

You have to click the video to start to load.

You use vanilla js and there is a fix for this, however its difficult to enable when your blog has hundreds of posts.

If you could add this feature that would be amzing.

In general, when you use the Insert/Edit Media tool to embed the video Publii automatically adds a loading attribute to the iframe (native lazy load).

Has anyone tried loading iFrames via facades in Publii? For example, Lazyframe: https://github.com/vb/lazyframe?
I’m looking for a way to optimize the loading of Google Maps iFrames.
One of my sites has 170 articles, each with a Google Maps iFrame. The only thing not optimized on the page is Google maps.

Try to add a loading attribute (loading=”lazy”) to your iframes, it should delay the off-screen loading of iframe elements until the user scrolls near them.
