Lazy Loading System
The plugin implements a two-stage loading process:

Stage 1 - Thumbnail Display:
Shows YouTube thumbnail image;
Displays custom play button overlay;
No iframe loaded yet - Faster initial page load;

Stage 2 - Video Loading:
When user clicks the thumbnail → JavaScript replaces it with actual YouTube iframe;
Only loads when needed - saves bandwidth and improves overall page performance;
Better for SEO.

Performance Benefits
Reduced Initial Load: No iframes loaded on initial page load;
Bandwidth Savings: Videos only load when clicked;
Faster Page Speed: Minimal JavaScript and CSS overhead;
SEO Friendly: Clean HTML markup that search engines can parse;

This plugin essentially transforms the way YouTube videos are embedded in Joomla, making them performance-optimized , styling-flexible , and user-friendly while maintaining security and compatibility with Joomla's content system.
