You know your visitors and customers love videos (and Google too), but you are concerned videos will slow down your product page?
Display a video’s snapshot and use Javascript to embed the video on-demand, when the user clicks on it. Light pages, great UX , improved SEO.
Any Javascript programmer can easily implement this techniques called on-demand video embedding. Initially the visitor is presented with a thumbnail or a screenshot of the video. Only when he clicks on the thumbnail to play the video a Javascript replaces the snapshot with the embedded video with exactly the same size. The operation, if correctly implemented, is invisible to the visitor, doesn’t affect his experience, but will let you have pages with an extremely low loading time.
