Wait a minute. Is the side-loaded page content also included - ads, gifs, pictures from 2nd und 3rd party domains for example?

Probably; a more detailed report [1] seems to suggest so anyway. Remember it includes "vulnerable JS libraries", probably fetched from 3rd party services.

Yeah, I wonder what exactly they mean by external.

Typically anything not on the main domain
