“Renders faster than a sneeze.” This plugin is based on [Paul Irish’s script](https://github.com/paulirish/lite-youtube-embed)
for embedding YouTube videos. Provide videos with a supercharged focus on visual
performance. This custom element renders just like the real thing but approximately
224X faster.
