hey!
every time you embed a vimeo video, it creates an iframe, basically a website in your website.
thats just how vimeo embeds work, it has nothing to do with lay theme.
thats pretty slow
its ok if you have one vimeo video, but if you have many on one page, it gets too slow
thats not because of lay theme, its just that if you embed a vimeo iframe, the iframe itself loads a lot of js, css many html elements
if u have vimeo pro, you can get the vimeo streaming or download urls.
they look sth like that:
https://player.vimeo.com/progressive_redirect/playback/428023635/rendition/720p/file.mp4?loc=external&oauth2_token_id=1801537914&signature=c4c116e1e4c56de82bab48df8548deb2bfbaa21a1827856dd3fb3a3fe033668f
you can use those with +video -> +.mp4 video (check use external url)
this will load the video file directly instead of a iframe embed, thats faster
but it wont have the same vimeo UI
you cant really make it faster than it is already
if you have very short clips it may be faster to just use them as .mp4 video elements.
video -> + .mp4 video
in the gridder
I'm wondering now, If my site gets slower, if I don't activate caching?
probably yea
Should I then use a caching plugin like WP fastest cache? I can't tell if the site is faster using WP fastest cache...
i think lay themes caching is probably faster
caching this wont cache the vimeo embeds though this wont make a difference for loading the vimeo videos. there are no caching plugins that will do that
cause a vimeo embed is a website that is loaded inside your website
