Best Youtube Plugin Ever!!!!!!

THIS IS THE BEST YOUTUBE PLUGIN AVAILABLE!!! IT ACTUALLY DOES WHAT IT SAYS!!! Sorry for the all CAPS there but I wanted to make a point. This is literally my first plugin review because this is the first plugin I have used that I felt deserved it. I have tried every Youtube plug there is and I just wanted a simple block that could be inserted to embed a Youtube video like the basic Youtube block but I wanted a plugin that would do like the tube.rvere code does and just load the featured image until clicked on. This plugin does that with no fuss and is completely free!!!!

I had been using the generated code from tube.rvere.com and they provide excellent code that works great and I have zero issues with their service. However, it was adding extra steps to my work-flow and also one of my core principles is to use as much core WordPress as possible and if needed use plugins built into my editor.

With this plugin, the block is built-in and you use it just like the core Youtube block but you can load the HD featured image and even have a caption if you choose.

I have been searching for a plugin to make my YouTube videos work and this one does it! I went from page speed loads of 3.5 seconds all the way down to 1.4 seconds just from using this plugin. I am very good at page speed loading time optimization and it is something I likely worry over more than I have to but when I saw that this plugin cut my page load time virtually in half just by helping with my YouTube videos I was sold.

I will be singing the praises of this plugin as loudly as I can!
