Adding internal links to my posts as cards without iframes

  • I have a catalog-like page with many links, and it’s getting really slow to load, causing the browser to slow down significantly.

    I think part of the problem is the number of iframes that I use. I guess this is unavoidable when I add a youtube video, but WP embeds even my own internal links as iframes.

    I think what I’m looking for is a “card” format – the cover image, the title, the author, the date and some extract, but aside from using Embeds, it doesn’t look possible. Is that right?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi @ahardy42 you need to lazy load the iframes, there are many ways to do that one of the reference I am sharing here, you can check https://web.dev/iframe-lazy-loading/

    Hi Sonailthakkar, ideally I want to get away from iframes completely.

    @ahardy42 ok then you can create the custom post type of this which have Title, Description, Embed link, extract, and then you can call the custom post type to that page and whenever you add any new custom post it will automatically get added to the page you are calling the custom post type.

    I’m not sure what you mean but it sounds like the kind of block that comes with Ultimate Blocks and other plugins, where the block will create a list of matching posts, depending on what date or category or tag you enter. I did think about using such plugin blocks, but I figured I would ask if there is a standard block that I didn’t recognise which does the job.

    I found several blocks which looked useful like “Post Title” and “Extract” but they only show the title or the extract for the page you are editing. There is a link field to enter a URL, but it doesn’t seem to operate the way it should if it does what I thought it would do.
