Video links limit per post?
-
If in one post, every comment has at least one YouTube video embed, how many video I can embed in one post? Cuz I noticed if I embedded more, the page loaded slower, or sometimes the browser freeze (using FireFox), or the video squinted. Please let me know whether or not there is a limit in WordPress, and if I make new post, will that reset no. of videos embedded or not? Thanks.

Hi. My best guess is that if your browser freezes, it may be due to your connection, your hardware or your software. I don’t think this is due to any prescribed limit.
This being said, as a courtesy to any visitors running on slower connections or older computers, I’d put very few YouTube videos on a single post.

There is no limit aside from common sense. Page loading time is a page ranking factor. Studies show visitors will wait no longer than 3 – 4 seconds for a blog to load. You have large videos in every post. They slow page loading time and freeze browsers. If you continue to post nothing but videos then your visitors are going to have browser issues especially those who have not upgraded their browsers.

See here for verifying your blog ownership with the major search engines. http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/ Search engines will find nothing to index on your posts as you have not included any text of your own creation in the posts. Search engine placement of your blog posts in search results is focused on relevance, freshness and original content. If you wish to gain traffic from search engines you will need to include your own text along with the video embeds. And you will have to learn how to assign categories and tags to your posts.

Thanks for all your answers

So this means no limit but the more I post videos , the slower the loading time? Or freeze browser?So is there a way to link video from YT, that doesn’t require simultaneously link to the site for every video on that post, just only when the reader click on it, to help reduce loading time? Thanks.

Yes, the more videos you post, the slower the loading time for that particular page. But if you have only five posts on your front page, and each has only two videos, you should be okay.
You can also use the More tag to put videos over a pagejump.
