Lite YouTube Embed
==================

[](#lite-youtube-embed)

A WordPress mu-plugin that replaces standard YouTube oEmbed iframes with the lightweight [``](https://github.com/nickreese/lite-youtube-embed) custom element for faster page loads.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.2+
- WordPress 6.5+

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via Composer:

```
composer require puredazzle/wp-lite-youtube-embed
```

Development
-----------

[](#development)

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

Settings
--------

[](#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.
