(This provides limited support for web pages that use link shorteners and do not use rel-me.) +- The HTTP response must not exceed 1 MB. **Any such link must not be within an `iframe`**. An `iframe` effectively means the link is no longer on the same web page, but rather it is on some external web page which is being embedded in the current one. (Note that some "block-based" CMS software may wrap block elements within iframes, which prevents verification for this reason.)
