Video in the product without punishing the app.
Dropping a YouTube iframe inside your product costs a lot before play. The Moviie player loads light, with lazy-load, and only pulls weight when the user decides to watch.
- 1.3 to 2.6 MB before play. A standard YouTube embed downloads that weight and fires more than 20 requests on load, whether the user clicked or not.
- It does not become a performance anchor. That hits your Core Web Vitals and your time to screen. Moviie comes in light and stays out of that path.
- It only pulls weight on play. The video enters the product and only really downloads when the user hits play.
