    Just downloaded an mp3 song from the site and it was of great quality. Thanks for it, it was not available on the web as mp3 and your site did the job for me. The site download speed is good and even the quality of the stuff is admirable.

    It is very good but downloading speed is little bit slow compared to keepvid and savevid

    Updated the thread design, please do give me more input. And thanks for the nice comments.

    As for the high quality file download: I have set it so it downloads the highest possible quality video/audio by default.
    As for the speed: I've tested keepvid/savevid, videodownloader performs a lot faster than those.

    Your website is very simple with hardly any content. Used the tabs at the top of the site which provided all the necessary information. Simplicity sometimes is better especially in regards to the service provided here. Good luck.

    Illegible colour contrasts in both the black bar and the footer, endless pointless scripttardery and framework bloat for christmas only knows what, illegible fixed metric fonts and broken attempt at being responsive...

    Hey, you smell something? Check the bottom of your boot, you might want to find a stick to scrap that bootcrap off with.

    Gibberish markup, nonsensical use of numbered headings (how can you be starting depth 4 subsections with no level 2 or level 3 headings?!? Multiple top-level headings?), broken inaccessible incomplete form, endless pointless DIV for nothing...

    It's just another laundry list of how NOT to build a website from an accessibility and semantics standpoint, reeking of a lack of knowledge on what HTML is, how to use it properly, and a host of other issues that seem chronic in development today.

    Just to show you what I mean, there is likely little legitimate reason (not counting adverts) for that page to be much more markup than:

    <!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head><meta charset="utf-8">
    
    <meta
    	name="viewport"
    	content="width=device-width, height=device-height, initial-scale=1.0"
    >
    
    <meta
    	name="description"
    	content="Download online Youtube Videos, Vimeo Videos, Instagram Videos, and many more sites to MP3/MP4 format for free!"
    >
    
    <link
    	rel="shortcut icon"
    	href="favicon.ico"
    >
    
    <link
    	type="text/css"
    	rel="stylesheet"
    	href="screen.css"
    	media="screen,projection,tv"
    >
    
    <title>
    	VideoDownloader
    </title>
    
    </head><body>
    
    <div id="top">
    	<h1>VideoDownloader.IO</h1>
    	<ul>
    		<li class="home"><a href="/" class="current">Home</a></li>
    		<li class="supported"><a href="/dl/supported_sites">Supported Sites</a></li>
    		<li class="contact"><a href="/contact/">Contact</a></li>
    	</ul>
    <!-- #top --></div>
    
    <div id="content">
    
    	<h2>VideoDownloader</h2>
    	<p>
    		Download Online YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and many other videos to mp3 or mp4!
    	</p>
    	<img src="images/camera.png" alt="A video camera graphic">
    	
    	<form action="/dl/download_form/" method="post" id="downloadForm">
    		<fieldset>
    			<label for="idURL">URL for the Video you want to download:</label>
    			<input
    				type="text" id="idURL" name="url"
    				placeholder="for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0"
    			>
    			<input type="submit" class="submit" value="Download">
    			<input
    				type="hidden"
    				name="csrfmiddlewaretoken"
    				value="p4i5eWxe7rOpS20VPY8BFyD2UmhpEasl"
    			>
    		</fieldset>
    	</form>
    	
    <!-- #content --></div>
    	
    </body></html>
    Code (markup):
    Fixing the broken form and gibberish use of numbered headings, and throwing almost half the code in the trash.

    Now that said, nice service. Seems to do what it was designed for; fix the accessibility issues, bad markup and axe the scripttardery, and you'll be golden.
