Iframe
An HTML element that embeds another webpage within the current page, commonly used for videos, maps, and third-party widgets. Iframes isolate external content but can impact performance and present security considerations. Use iframes for trusted third-party embeds and consider lazy loading.
Embed
General
External content integrated into your page from another source, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google, or widgets from third-party services. Embeds extend functionality without building features from scratch but can impact performance and introduce dependencies. Framer supports HTML embeds and iframe integration for external content.
Widget
Components
A self-contained interactive element that provides specific functionality, often embeddable from third-party services. Widgets extend site capabilities without custom development—chat widgets, calendars, and forms are common examples. Consider performance impact when adding widgets and lazy load when possible.
