    Hi,
    I have just installed the plugin, which is the best slider available on WordPress. The main point is it doesn’t load jQuery.

    I have one suggestion for the YouTube embed option. Currently, it loads video with page load, and we all know how many additional requests it creates a serious impact on page load time.
    So, instead of loading the video, can’t it load just the thumbnail and load the video when the user clicks?
    This functionality makes this plugin super fast with video as well.
    I hope you will consider this.
    Thanks again for this wonderful plugin.

    Hi @hardhatengineer,
    First of all, we are happy you like Depicter.
    about the rendering, I need to say the browser prioritizes loading the items on iframe. and prevent blocking the page rendering. So it does not a big effect on page load time.

    But we may also add the option for this in our future updates as well.

    Thanks for your suggestion and please introduce Depicter to your friends as well
