the iframe bloat problem is real. been using lite-youtube-embed for similar reasons. curious how yours compares - do you render the thumbnail server-side or client-side, and how do you handle the cookie consent modal that youtube forces now
- corentin88 6mo agoIt's a static site that renders the youtube thumbnail + a red play button. When you click on it, it loads the youtube iframe. So it's basically deferring the cookie consent and all. We implemented it as a drop-in replacement: -- <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aqz-KE-bpKQ"> ++ <iframe src="https://www.embedlite.com/embed/aqz-KE-bpKQ"> Nothing else needed.
