Elinweb Lightweight Player for Aparat

Paste an Aparat link, and the plugin prepares a local poster with a circular Play icon. The player loads after your visitor clicks Play, keeping video requests out of the initial page load. Use either of these link formats:

• https://www.aparat.com/embed/ytf50k5 (recommended newer input format)
• https://www.aparat.com/v/ytf50k5

Replace ytf50k5 with your video's identifier. Includes a Gutenberg block, an optional Elementor widget, and the lwpa_aparat shortcode. You can set a custom poster, aspect ratio, start time, or muted playback. Enable above-fold poster priority only for videos visible without scrolling. The default browser player avoids Aparat's iframe and player JavaScript. An optional official Aparat player is also available. WP Rocket and Perfmatters Delay JavaScript exclusions are included. Posters are stored in your media library and converted to WebP when supported. Preparation runs while editing, saving, or through WP-Cron, without synchronous Aparat requests during public page rendering. Playback depends on API/CDN availability and browser policies. The plugin includes Persian interface translations.
