Is Adding Embedded Content To A Website A Good Idea?

I’ve embedded content for years. Examples include:

• YouTube video
• Anchor podcasts
• Tweets
• Documents
• Ads
• External vendor platforms
• And more

Embedded content makes it easy for us to add external content assets. They usually flow directly into the content on the website and are easily added into the HTML editor.

But there are real disadvantages which I share here.
