Replace custom post type with something more lightweight

[MatzeKitt]

What feature are you requesting?

The custom post type for embeds is quite heavy in resource usage. Additionally, there is no benefit in using a CPT here. This should be changed to a simple option with serialized data with an easier interface for editing, while maintaining the same functionality:

• Allow editing the title
• Allow editing the overlay message
• Allow editing the regular expression
• Allow editing the privacy policy URL
• Allow editing the background image
• Allow editing the logo

Why is this feature necessary?

Improved performance and less data in database

Are you expecing side-effects?

Don’t do it this way. Check for other possibilities to limit its usage. Maybe adding a wrapper to only request data we need instead of full WP_Post objects.

However, it’s not a big issue so far, so maybe we leave it as is, for now.
