Good Morning WA community,

As part of my pay it forward, I have made a video to show how to embed a YouTube video on your WordPress post and to not use your local site media because it will cause your site to slow down.

We have to remember that videos take up a lot of media space and the more that we try to house on our own site then the harder it is to obtain good site speed.

By using YouTube, you can use this embed trick to put YouTube's servers to work instead of the one your site is being hosted on, at this point for most of us it is WA's servers.

The video may not be to the best quality but I am trying to work on my audio issues.

I hope everyone finds this helpful and has a great Christmas, this will most likely be the last training piece I have until after Christmas.

As we all are aware, Jay's Happy Friday video is coming up and I don't know about you but I don't miss any of Jay's weekly training videos.

All the best,

Shane

Wow, that was easy. Thanks for the tips, Shane.
I especially like the option to stop other videos from showing after your video is done. They show some real trash if you don't and it takes the traffic away from your website.
