    Hey, I’m trying to do this myself, so I need some quick help. All I’m trying to do is add like 10 embedded youtube videos or so to a post. I really only need those videos to lazy load, as there are only a few images on the page outside of that…

    1. What options should I click in the Settings? I did these…

    -Enable lazy loading for iframes

    -Include lazysizes native loading plugin

    -Include lazysizes unveilhooks plugin

    -Enable lazy loading for videos

    -Display loading spinner

    2. I did that (in a staging site) and when I went to the published page, it all went just as smooth as before I even installed the plugin. I have no idea if it’s working, so HOW do I know it’s actually activated and working since my internet is strong and I won’t see it spinning/loading?

    3. Do I need to add the “Include lazysizes aspect ratio”?

    4. Will this lazy load EVERYTHING on every page, like widgets on the sidebar? Hopefully I won’t have to make modifications.

    Sorry for the newb questions. I couldn’t find any tutorials on this plugin.

    Hi @rayfinkle,

    could you post a link to the page? Then I could take a look and say if it is working. The iFrames option should be enough in case of YouTube embeds.

    It will lazy load all content that you enter via the backend page/post editor, and a few supported widgets, like the content of text widgets.

    Best,
    Florian

    Hey Florian, I can’t really post a link because it’s private and I don’t want to share it publicly. Also it’s in a staging area, so I’d have to give you the login info.

    If you have a private email I could send you a specialized admin password for the staging area and direct you to the post I’m working on? Would that work?
