Many of us get frustrated when websites fail to load as expected. Many of them are poorly formatted, some do not have the information you need, and well, quite a lot of them load at snail speed!
What if you have an amazing website, with the best content and media that people love – but loads slow? That’s annoying! Over and above, we might not even think of embedding a video, wondering whether it will affect the speed even more. Yes, a video can do a lot of harm than you thought.
Did you know a single YouTube Video itself consumes about half MB of extra JavaScript files?
Well, you won’t see any of these issues if you are using the Ultimate Addons for Beaver Builder to build your website. A combination of lightweight and feature-rich modules gives you the freedom to design pretty faster loading websites!
Today, in UABB version 1.11.0 we introduce an optimized Video module that not just embeds videos from your favorite website, but also does this silently without affecting the speed. You can embed YouTube and Vimeo videos without worrying about the page speed.
You can take a look at the numbers that prove it.
In the below image, we’ve tested a page that has a YouTube video embedded on using the Beaver Builder Video Module.
Now, we see the results for the same page when the video is embedded using the Video Module of the Ultimate Addons for Beaver Builder.
Awestruck already!
We would love to see your expressions when you see this live at your end! You can notice similar results for Vimeo video as well. So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and update the Ultimate Addons for Beaver Builder from the updates page in your WordPress backend.
To see everything that we release in this update, you can take a look at our changelog.
In the Closing…
Its monsoon here in India and its raining updates! 😉
Stay tuned for the next update in which we’ll bring to you the Table module and a lot more things that we’ve been working on. I am sure you are going to love that too!
Until then, barge ahead and use the video module. You’ll be glad to embed one without affecting the page speed.

Wonderful I love your work!
it would be great if you can add an option for those that want to load videos from other sources than youtube and vimeo, I know that you have a script that get the thumbnail out of the video link, I wonder if we can have this option to select a photo from media library for thumbnail instead.
thank you
Hello Danial,
Currently, we do not have the self-hosted option in the Video module yet. But, we will surely consider the same in the future.
Hope that helps. 🙂 Let us know if you have any further queries.
