## Description

**WPXero Iframe** adds a dedicated Gutenberg block for external embeds that do not
ship a first-party Core block. Use it for videos, maps, audio players, dashboards,
booking tools, donation widgets, LMS players, and other iframe-friendly services.

**Why this helps SEO and discoverability**

 * **Editor & directory search** — The block title, description, and keyword list
   match how people look for “iframe block”, “youtube embed”, “maps embed”, “Gutenberg
   embed”, and similar queries.
 * **On-page context** — An optional **caption** is output as a real `<figcaption
   >` under the embed so your page still has indexable text explaining what visitors
   are seeing.
 * **Accessible names** — Encourages a descriptive `title` attribute on the iframe
   for assistive technology and clearer browser behavior.
 * **Crawler-friendly fallback** — A `<noscript>` block includes a plain link to
   the sanitized HTTPS embed URL when scripts are off, so bots can still discover
   the destination.
 * **Performance** — Lazy-load mode only loads the small front-end helper script
   when that option is enabled.

Pair it with your SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, AIOSEO, The SEO Framework,
etc.) for meta tags, schema, sitemaps, and analytics.

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   Iframe & embed (YouTube, Vimeo, maps) Embed responsive HTTPS iframes for YouTube,
   Vimeo, Google Maps, audio, booking tools, and more. Add an optional visible caption
   and accessible title for SEO and screen readers.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin from **Plugins > Add New** or upload the ZIP.
 2. Edit a post or page in the block editor.
 3. Insert **Iframe & embed (YouTube, Vimeo, maps)** or search for “iframe”.
 4. Paste an HTTPS URL. Add **Title** (accessibility) and **Visible caption (SEO)**
    when it helps explain the embed.

## FAQ

### Will this make my iframe rank in Google?

Search engines evaluate the _page you publish_ plus the reputation and content of
the framed URL. This block improves your page by adding surrounding text (caption),
semantics (`figure`/`figcaption`), and optional noscript links—it does not replace
a full SEO strategy.

### Is the caption required?

No. It is optional but recommended when the embed needs context for readers or search
snippets.

### Does the plugin add JSON-LD schema?

No. Use your SEO plugin or theme for structured data; this block focuses on semantic
HTML around the iframe.

### Does lazy-loading help Core Web Vitals?

Deferring heavy third-party frames can help when tested responsibly. Measure with
Lighthouse or your RUM tool after publishing.
