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!

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.
