The Superspeed Advantage

"Video sells products, but embeds ruin speed. Our Tiny YouTube block defers heavy embeds until the play button is clicked, saving up to 500KB of initial page weight."

Seamless by Design

Superspeed provides a performance-engineered app block (ss-tiny-yt) that renders a fast image poster first. It completely delays the loading of the heavy YouTube video iframe and its 500KB of tracking scripts until the user explicitly clicks play.

Save up to 500KB of initial page weight per video

Prevent YouTube tracking scripts from blocking your main thread

Maintain a perfect LCP score even with multiple videos above the fold
