Looking for a server-side-only Twitter plugin

    There are a zillion Twitter plugins for WordPress, but all the ones I’ve looked at so far work on the client side, that is you set up an auth key in the back-end, but then it runs entirely in JS on the client. This usually involves it downloading third-party scripts and assets, and they tend to misbehave on the cookie front too. That means that none of them are the least bit GDPR compliant. Also anyone that visits your site using ad or tracker blockers will usually not be able to see your Twitter feed at all.

    So I’m looking for a plugin that pulls from a Twitter feed and renders in my WP site *entirely* on the server side. I have no need for any JS functionality, just to render text and links, and maybe images.

    Can anyone point me at one?
