Swarmify totally changes the way I use YouTube videos on my site." June 21, 2018 5.0 A better working website - with nice effective videos served once by YouTube and then more efficiently by Swarmify on subsequent passes. Pros Very easy to add to my Divi Wordpress website - just add a small chunk of code to the Headers and nothing else is needed. In return, I get all the benefits of using the YouTube server with none of the downside of ads or additional content at the end of clips. It's really genius and one subscription covers all my sites. Cons Couldn't find any cons - it's a treat to have something work so well. I haven't seen anything else like this. Review Source John C.
