Cut seconds off your load time by deferring the loading of YouTube videos and images, which scale automatically for mobile devices.

== Description ==

Showcasing YouTube videos and images on websites is a great way to draw visitor's attention, however doing so can easily add several seconds to a website's load time. This is bad for user experience, scares away potential customers, and hurts search rankings.

This plugin allows users to upload YouTube videos and images while having zero impact on page load time, easily cutting load time by several seconds.


== Installation ==

1. Upload the entire `fast-video-and-image-display` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. After activating the plugin, go to Appearance -> Widgets, and you will find two widgets that allow you to upload the videos and images you desire.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

FAQ

YouTube Video Shortcode:

1. On all posts and pages on the WordPress backend, click the media button 'Defer Video Load'. A shortcode will appear on the page.
2. Insert the YouTube URL of the video you want to display.
3. The default width and height values are 560 x 315 pixels, which can be changed to any value. The video will also adjust to fit mobile screens, if you would like that option removed, change the 'yes' option to 'no' or another value.
4. If you would like to insert a CSS class for more customization, enter the class name in the shortcode attribute to modify CSS properties.

Image Shortcode:

1. On all posts and pages, click the media button 'Defer Image Load'. A screen will appear with all images in your WordPress library.
2. Select the image you would like and click 'insert'. The default attributes will be inserted into the shortcode. If you would like to change these you may do so.
