Static Posts for Twitter – Embed x.com Tweets without an iframe

The standard Tweet, or Post (or Xeet?), loads in 500kb of front end JavaScript, tracking cookies, and lots of noise. This plugin avoids all of that by pre-rendering the entire Tweet statically. Say goodbye to bulky Tweets!

Features

  • Embed a Tweet/Post/Xeet without an iframe
  • Save 500kb of page load
  • No Twitter/X cookies, tracking, JavaScript, etc
  • Static – Twitter/X changes won’t affect your site
  • Dark/light auto mode

Vercel

The Tweets are parsed on a server hosted on Vercel. Using this service, and thus connecting to their servers, you agree to their privacy policy and terms.

NOTE: Your frontend does not rely on any api calls, and if the Vercel api shuts down tomorrow, your site will not be affected in any way.
