How to Embed Tweets on Your Website — 3 Methods, Measured

Every guide to embedding tweets shows the same thing: click the three dots, choose Embed post, paste the snippet. That works, and for a single tweet in a blog post it is the right answer. It stops being the right answer the moment you embed twenty tweets on a landing page, care about Core Web Vitals, run a strict cookie-consent setup, or want the tweet to match your design system.

This guide covers all three ways to embed tweets on a website — the copy-paste embed, the oEmbed API, and static tweet cards rendered from API data — with numbers we measured ourselves (script payload, cache headers, endpoint latency) and runnable code for each. It finishes with a decision table so you can pick the method that fits your page instead of the one that is easiest to explain.
