## Beschrijving

Velocity is an alternative loading method to the standard to YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch
and Soundcloud iframe embeds.

With Velocity you will decrease the loading time and increase overall performance
of your website by lazy loading media on-demand instead of on initial page load.

To add Velocity to your site, simply create a Velocity shortcode by selecting a 
preview image and media type using the intuitive shortcode builder then add the 
generated snippet to your page.

I wish it could manually grab the image thumbnail for me and load locally. The manual
builder is enough work as it is. Thank you for this great plugin, though.

This plugin is hands down the best WordPress lazy load plugin there is. Locally 
hosted custom image support makes this lightning fast. Highly recommended.

The plugin works great and does everything that promises. But what I appreciate 
the most is that Darren, who develops the plugin, is always listening, helping and
implementing new suggestions. When you choose a plugin for your website, is important
to make sure it’s regularly updated and won’t be abandoned. Darren puts a lot of
effort on this aspect. In fact, all the plugins he creates are pure gold. Thanks
a lot for all your work and effort. Keep up the good work, man!

An excellent plugin, and one of the easiest to use that I’ve seen. Some people may
want control over additional parameters, in which case look elsewhere, but if you
just want to put lazy loading videos on a page as simply and quickly as possible,
I’d highly recommend this. It also does away with YouTube’s related videos, which
is another huge plus point in my book.
