The "Detecting theme video overlays" feature is part of NitroPack’s Video Facades optimization. It is designed to improve the performance of embedded videos by ensuring that your theme’s custom video overlay is displayed before the video loads.
What Does "Detecting Theme Video Overlays" Do?
Some WordPress themes allow you to configure a custom overlay for embedded videos. By enabling the Detecting Theme Video Overlays option, NitroPack will display that overlay instead of the video thumbnail before the video is loaded. Аs a result:
✅ The video remains lightweight until a visitor interacts with it
✅ The page maintains a polished and uniform design without unnecessary video loading
When to Use It?
You should enable "Detecting Theme Video Overlays" if:
Your theme includes built-in overlays for embedded videos, and you want to keep them visible.
You aim to improve site speed without sacrificing design consistency.
Your site struggles with slow performance due to large video elements.
