On my ecommerce site I use TH-cam videos from the manufacturer on certain custom built product pages. Thought I would give this a try to see what happens and it doubled my PageSpeed Insight score on both desktop and mobile and cut around 1.2 seconds off the speed index. This is with the FREE version of the plugin, so this is absolutely fantastic and I'll be keeping it installed! My only improvement request would be an option to show the TH-cam video title before play is clicked, but this is not the end of the world as I can add a title above the player.
This is brilliant. Please can you tell me how I find it and use it in Elementor Pro. So, do I still have to download the plug in? At the moment, all my videos have been inserted with the Elementor video widget. Will I have to re-do all these with the Presto widget? Many thanks x
Thank you for the great plugin and Bravo 👏on the Media Hub, what a practical way to manage all your website videos in one place. It would be a nice feature (even if only under Pro) you could add additional TH-cam channel ID in the Integrations section as one of our company has 2 channels for their business and showing videos from these 2 channels on their website. That way when ever people click on the subscribe button they subscribe the channel related to the video their watching. Maybe we're not a typical use case either.
This is perfect timing for me, Adam! I’m creating a TH-cam videos directory (private site) for my favourite videos as TH-cam has no way for me to search or make notes on my favourite playlist collections. Thanks for creating this useful plugin!
Hi Nice plugin and do exactly what has been said. But there is a little improvement needed. Lighthouse shows this error "Does not use passive listeners to improve scrolling performance". Hope to see a fix for this soon.
@@blueworlddreams Perhaps you are using a caching plugin or CDN that is messing with our JS file. This will explain how to resolve that prestoplayer.com/docs/performance-preferences-explained
Hi! I was excited to you this. I installed it on my page and the video won't play when clicked up. It also has weird formatting when inserted in a column. I'd be grateful if you fixed. Seems like wordpress has made all kinds of miserable changes recently. Maybe something got messed up? Thanks
Unfortunately the instructions do not match word press 6.0. Would appreciate details for 6.0 cause the step by step doesn't work I have activated presto and it is on my Wordpress side bar. Am I using Backend Editor or Front end Editor or Gutenberg or none of those? can't find - "Insert after" - can't find the + so unable to use the "TH-cam presto video" etc..... Apparently editing in Wordpress 6.0 is a different configuration. If u can give me guidance I would be greatly appreciative. Looks like an awesome plugin and hope with your help that I can use it. Thank you so much
Thanks for great videos we always getting from you , little question , i am already bulid a website but it is very slow to launch - how i can make it faster please . It doesnt has any video
I love it...only I must be doing something wrong. I lose the preview picture right after I click on the 'optimize for TH-cam' button. Is there any help for the stupid?
For that option, you need to add the image to the player. So what will happen is, when someone visits your website, the TH-cam player won't load until they click play. Instead it will show the local image.
Hi. Awesome videos but i cant find how i can to go from flatsome to gutenberg because i use a lot image sliders and products-categories sliders. Do you know what i need?
is there a way to optimize videos that load and play in the background? Elementor section styling allows videos for the background. Just wondering how to optimize those. thanks
Using a CDN (Cloudflare with Ezoic) we found that more than just the video player was not working. When testing with the free plugin, we found that the rest of the post was not displayed as soon as it tried to render the Preso Player block. Any advice would be appreciated.
@@WPCrafter Makes sense. Currently just dropping the optimized video in WordPress so it doesn't have to call it from a third party site like TH-cam. I wonder if BuunyNet will allow us to place their CDN video link to pull up the video when placing it as a background.

hey, it sounded too good to be true. firstly thanks for the amazing tutorial and plugin. but unfortunately it doesnt play my youtube short videos, that i am only using for my recips on my website, that are vertical. before on youtube emb i changed the ratio in the html and managed to display it correctly, but with this plugin there is no way to change the format, and nothing is playing. would have been too good if this would have worked. is this something, that can be done in future, perhaps?
I installed the plugin to my wordpress(Optimizepress) web site and used it on one of my posts with 7 TH-cam Videos, however the load time didn't change for some reason. I must be doing something wrong. Page Speed Insights (LightHouse) still showed You Tube loading initially for multiple seconds just like before I installed the plugin. Any ideas?
Great tutorial, what about gallery video, like having many videos on the page. My web page loads quickly, but the buffering time of each video is over 10 seconds, any solution?
Hi there. I'm trying the free version of the plugin for the first time and I've run into an issue. When I added the first video to my post, and used the youtube optimized option, the video comes greyed out so there's no video image even though the video can still be played. I've loaded other videos on the same post and optimized them and they both show proper images. Am I doing something wrong or missing something? Thanks.
Can you press play in this demo so that we see how smooth the youtube video loads with this feature? The reason I ask is because in other solutions that I have seen the TH-cam video doesn’t load automatically upon pressing the image preview. ☹️

Thanks Adam, your videos are always of great value. I tested the FREE version of Presto Player on a standalone word press/elementor pro website & was really impressed. However I didn’t have the same success on our client’s multi-site. The plugin installed & activated on the multi-site network, however it broke the site by not loading all images. I want to continue to use the plugin, Q: is the FREE version not multisite compatible? I couldn’t locate any support for the plugin unless I was a pro user? Grateful for any feedback.

Hi my uncle😴⚘... Please how can I hide title of TH-cam video embed? I have website and non wordpress... When I embed my youtube video in my website , the title and youtube logo are shown🥺
I added the presto player to my wordpress site today. The video sits on the page full width. I've tried to reduce the size using the wordpress two options available, but it makes no difference. All I want is a small sized screen to show the video. Sadly, I've had to delete presto player as it will not configure / resize to fit my site properly.
This is not a Presto Player issue, its how you have your layout setup. Any piece of content will site full width unless you place it inside of a container to constrain the width. This goes for all content blocks.

Love your videos Adam, just tried the Presto player on a divi theme site and got an error when trying to add a youtube video to the Media Hub. the error was, 'Publishing Failed.

Has this happened to anyone else? any idea what is happening? thanks again for all your work.
I just benchmark my kadence theme gutenberg site with video pop-up block and three youtube videos. It only loaded 84,2 KB of javascript. *Unconfirmed if it is only JS from the youtube videos.
Gutenberg for the test since based on the assumption that most videos would be in blog posts which would be made using the block builder. But Presto Player has an Elementor module.
Any time you add a TH-cam video to your website, TH-cam loads its player. But in Presto Player there is an option to optimize that so the player only loads if the person clicks play. You must not have that option enabled like I am showing in the video.
Wow! You're plugin is AWESOME! I just decreased my page load from nearly 7s to under 2s. Amazing! Thank you!
