As it’s one of the suggestions given by pagespeed.

Does that go in the functions.php with a url to the local image? Sorry, need my hand held on this one 😉 * Thread Starter Anonymous User 14978628 * (@anonymized-14978628) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-48/#post-9637479) * Ah, just realized the image linked with [https://i.ytimg.com/](https://i.ytimg.com/) is the actual cover image of the video, the thumbnail. I thought it was that little play button. Not sure if this will be possible then as all videos have different thumbnails. * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-48/#post-9637659) * true. no easy automated fix I’m afraid. * Thread Starter Anonymous User 14978628 * (@anonymized-14978628) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-48/#post-9638245) * no probs, thanks anyway. * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-48/#post-10227592) * update: lyte 1.7.0 will have an option to cache thumbnails locally @martychc23, good for privacy and performance! 🙂 * (also [@ronwisely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronwisely/) ) * Thread Starter Anonymous User 14978628 * (@anonymized-14978628) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-48/#post-10227772) * Ah, I was actually thinking about this recently. * I use another plugin (A3 Lazy Load) for lazying images. * It also has an option for lazy loading videos, but for some reason it changes the size of the video from 16:9 to 4:3, so I stuck with this plugin as my videos look better. * But what I liked about that plugin was that it lazy loaded videos just like images by fading them into view on user scroll without making any external calls like YTL does. * I guess the coming update will solve that issue? * If so, that’s great news as this was always a slight disadvantage when using YTL! * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-48/#post-10227790) * well, the video thumbnails are _not_ lazyloaded (but are loaded after DomContentLoaded) and are not (optionally) loaded from your own server instead of YT’s 🙂 * (1.7.0 has been released in the mean time, so update & play around with it 🙂) * Thread Starter Anonymous User 14978628 * (@anonymized-14978628) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-48/#post-10229702) * Hey Frank, * The hover text for No (default) for the following options: * Also act on normal YouTube links? * Cache thumbnails locally?
