  I have a 1.7 MB HTML file (of an interactive map) that I would like to include on my WordPress website. I have tried copying and pasting the html code into a page on my website, but this has not worked. How should I go about including this map ? My site currently has a free plan.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,

  HTML code can be inserted in the Custom HTML block.
  You might find this article useful:https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/custom-html-block

  I just wanted to let you know that certain HTML tags are not allowed on free WordPress.com websites due to security concerns.
  You can find more details here:

  Hope this helps! :)

  Thank you for your help.

  I have the Personal plan now (the HTML file contained tags not allowed on the free plan), but have still been unsuccessful. Copying and pasting the HTML code into a custom HTML block not only fails to work, but prevents the other blocks on the page from loading.
  I have also tried:
  <iframe> srcdoc=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ABMvanHelsdingen/Maps/main/ukconswob.html </iframe>

  without success.
  I would be very grateful for any assistance.

  I have viewed it in Chrome on my own computer and it displays correctly.
