README

A WordPress mu-plugin that replaces standard YouTube oEmbed iframes with the lightweight <lite-youtube> custom element for faster page loads.

Requirements

  • PHP 8.2+
  • WordPress 6.1+

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require puredazzle/wp-lite-youtube-embed

Development

pnpm install
pnpm dev     # Vite dev server on localhost:5174
pnpm build   # Production build to /build

Settings

Navigate to Settings > Lite YouTube Embed in the WordPress admin to clear the oEmbed cache. This forces WordPress to re-fetch all embeds so existing posts pick up the lite player.
