SpeedkitYoutube

We have integrated SpeedkitYoutube as an example to show how iFrame content must be integrated in a performance-optimized manner. For this purpose, a separate IntersectionObserver has been implemented, which detects a longer dwell time of the component in the viewport. The iFrame is initialized only after a positive detection. This prevents immense data from having to be loaded when simply scrolling through the page. So that no empty space is visible to the user, we use the functionality of the SpeedkitPicture and preload the corresponding Youtube poster in different renditions, so the illusion is perfect for the user and he does not notice anything of the optimized lazy load procedure.

Usage

The SpeedkitYoutubeis used to initialise Youtube videos with Youtube Iframe-API.

The url of the Youtube video must be specified.

The SpeedkitPicture is used for the poster, so the generation of the poster is automated, you can define the image sizes with sizes (What is sizes?).

Important: For using SpeedkitYoutube do not disable @nuxt/image via disableNuxtImage.
