## Description

This plugin prevents Youtube and Vimeo players to block page rendering. Maybe you
have recognized that pages that have a lot of embed videos are loading slowly. This
is caused by the vendors video players that need to be downloaded and initialized
before website can be used by the user. This plugin stops this behavior and makes
page load faster.

This plugin will automatically resize your videos in a responsive fashion.
