## Deskripsi

Simple Link Embed lets editors create link cards from external URLs or internal 
posts in the block editor. Paste a URL or search for a post, and the plugin fetches
metadata such as the title, description, image, and site name automatically.

When an editor inserts or refreshes a card, the plugin requests the selected URL
from the server side to fetch metadata. Preview images and site favicons are still
loaded from the linked site when available.

**Features:**

 * **WordPress Block (Gutenberg) Support** – Fully compatible with modern block 
   editor
 * **External and Internal Links** – Paste an external URL or search for an internal
   post from the editor
 * **Automatic Metadata Fetching** – Retrieves OGP and fallback metadata from the
   selected page
 * **Card Display Controls** – Control image position, description, site name, and
   link target behavior
 * **Site Favicon with Fallback** – Uses the linked site’s favicon when available
   and falls back to a bundled icon
 * **YouTube and X Support** – Includes service-specific metadata handling and fallbacks
 * **Optional GA4 Click Tracking** – Sends click events only when explicitly enabled

### External Services

This plugin uses the following external services:

 1.  **Linked page metadata fetch**
 2.   * Service URL: The exact URL entered by the editor
      * Purpose: Retrieve page metadata such as title, description, image, canonical
        URL, site name, and favicon to build the link card.
      * Data sent: The selected URL is requested from the site server when an editor
        inserts or refreshes a card. The remote server may receive the site server 
        IP address and user agent.
      * Terms of Service / Privacy Policy: Depend on the linked destination website
        selected by the editor.
 3.  **Linked page preview image and favicon**
 4.   * Service URL: The `og:image` URL and favicon URL provided by the linked destination
        website
      * Purpose: Display the linked page’s preview image and site icon in the card.
      * Data sent: Site visitors’ browsers request these image URLs when viewing a 
        page that contains the card.
      * Terms of Service / Privacy Policy: Depend on the linked destination website
        selected by the editor.
 5.  **YouTube oEmbed API**
 6.   * Service URL: `https://www.youtube.com/oembed`
      * Purpose: Retrieve metadata for YouTube URLs (title, author, thumbnail).
      * Data sent: The selected YouTube URL.
      * Terms of Service: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms
      * Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
 7.  **YouTube thumbnail image service**
 8.   * Service URL: `https://i.ytimg.com/vi/{video_id}/hqdefault.jpg`
      * Purpose: Fallback thumbnail retrieval for YouTube video cards.
      * Data sent: Video ID extracted from the selected YouTube URL.
      * Terms of Service: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms
      * Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
 9.  **Google Analytics 4 (optional)**
 10.  * Service URL: `https://www.google-analytics.com/`
      * Purpose: Send link card click events when tracking is enabled in plugin settings.
      * Data sent: `link_url`, `card_title`, `link_domain`, `page_title`, `page_url`,
        and the configured GA4 measurement ID.
      * When sent: Only when the site owner enables tracking in this plugin and a GA4`
        gtag.js` setup already exists on the site.
