WavePlayer Web Edition automatically transforms all the <audio> elements on your pages into one of the coolest players in the market. The only thing you have to do is adding its script to the head of your pages. WavePlayer will do the rest!

WavePlayer can also transform any other element, as long as you specify the URL of the audio track you want to use inside the player. This process is completely effortless: add the script to your web page and let WavePlayer do its magic! You can also customize the aspect of the player, not only by altering the global options but also changing the player configuration element by element.

WavePlayer integrates a PHP helper responsible for the generation of all the HTML markup and the management of the audio track metadata that is automatically extracted from each file, including the cover art picture embedded in the audio file.

We carefully crafted our code to make WavePlayer 100% transparent to your website performance. The following image shows the GTMetrix performance and structure test of this very webpage, with WavePlayer already installed and running. The results speak for themselves.

This web page is fairly simple and it is quite obvious to see its performance getting the best rating. Nonetheless, this is exactly the most interesting environment to test a web component: the fact that our plugin doesn’t affect the rating of the page simply confirms that it is designed with the performance of your web page in mind.

Since WavePlayer does not depend on any other javascript library, you can always defer its loading without worrying about breaking any functionality.

For your further reference, we compiled an article with extensive details about methods and results of our performance tests.
