Defer Video Module
"Deferring videos" is a technique that involves delaying the loading of videos on a web page until after the main content has loaded. The goal of deferring videos is to improve the performance of the website, especially on slow networks or for users with limited bandwidth.
When videos are deferred, the browser does not download and display them until the main content of the page has finished loading. This can help to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, which can improve the overall performance of the website and reduce the time it takes for pages to load.

Please know that you must insert your video ID into the box title "YouTube ID" irrespective of if it is a Vimeo or YouTube video. You will get your video ID by looking at the URL of the video.
