Twitter Embed Test

Test Twitter embed implementations with fallback handling for blocked regions

Network Drop Testing:

To test the fallback functionality, use your browser's developer tools:

  1. Open Developer Tools (F12)
  2. Go to Network tab
  3. Filter by "twitter" or "platform.twitter.com"
  4. Reload the page and immediately block/drop the Twitter requests
  5. Watch the console for debug messages

Test Results:

Instructions:

  • Enter a valid tweet ID to test
  • Adjust timeout to see how the fallback behaves
  • Use "With Fallback" for regions where Twitter is blocked
  • Use "Original" for normal Twitter access
  • Check browser console for debug messages
  • Use Network tab to simulate network drops

How it works:

  • • With Fallback: Shows loading state, then Twitter embed. If it fails to load within timeout, shows a clickable fallback link.
  • • Original: Direct Twitter embed without any fallback logic.
  • • Timeout: Default 8 seconds, can be adjusted based on your network conditions.
  • • Content Detection: Now checks if iframe actually has content, not just if it exists.

Recent Improvements:

  • • Better iframe detection: Now checks if iframe has actual content, not just if it exists
  • • Cross-origin handling: Handles cases where iframe content can't be accessed due to CORS
  • • Content validation: Waits for content to load before considering it successful
  • • URL validation: Checks if iframe src contains valid Twitter domains
