Instagram embeds are slow or do not load at all

I notice that when a story is getting a lot of attention on instagram the images and videos embeded on my site load more slowly. I assume this is because of instagrams infrastructure. Does anyone else experience this? And is there a way around it such as a short code that uses an API to directly retrieve the asset?

You can try with the iframe embedding, like this :

<iframe src="https://www.instagram.com/p/BHP6Zm_Drrs/embed" width="400" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>

This url will allow you to create an embed using any Instagram photo url
