There is no surefire way to know if a website accepts iframes without trying to embed one yourself. However, there are a few indicators that can give you a hint:

  1. Look for an embed or share button: Many websites that allow embedding content will have a specific button or option to share or embed that content on other platforms, including iframes.
  2. Check the website's Terms of Service: Some websites explicitly state whether or not they allow embedding of their content on other websites in their Terms of Service or copyright policies.
  3. Inspect the website's code: You can view the source code of the website by right-clicking on the page and selecting "View Page Source." Look for references to iframe elements or see if they have the "X-Frame-Options" header set to allow or deny framing.
  4. Experiment with embedding: Try embedding a simple iframe with a generic content or your own website on the target website. If it works, then the website likely accepts iframes. If it doesn't, then the website likely does not allow iframes.


Remember that embedding content from a website without their explicit permission may violate their terms of service or copyright policies, so make sure to obtain proper permission before embedding any content.
