Frequently Asked Questions
What is OpenGraph and why is it important?
OpenGraph (OG) is a protocol that enables web pages to become rich objects in social networks. It determines how your content appears when shared on platforms like Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and others. Proper OG tags can significantly improve your content's visibility and engagement rates.
How does the OpenGraph Tester/Viewer work?
Our OpenGraph checker tool fetches and displays all OG meta tags from your URL, allowing you to preview how your content will appear across different social platforms. You can also edit these tags in real-time to test different variations.
What social media previews does this OpenGraph checker support?
Our tool provides real-time previews for Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Discord. Each preview accurately reflects how your content will appear when shared on these platforms.
What OpenGraph tags can I test and edit?
You can test and edit essential OG tags including og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, and og:site_name. The tool also supports Twitter Card meta tags for X/Twitter previews.
Why do my social previews look different on each platform?
Each platform (Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, etc.) has its own way of interpreting and displaying OpenGraph tags. Our previewer shows you these platform-specific differences to help you optimize your content.
How can I optimize my OpenGraph tags?
Use our OG tester to ensure your title is under 60 characters, description is between 150-160 characters, and images meet the recommended dimensions (1200x630px for most platforms).
Why isn't my OpenGraph image showing in the preview?
This could be due to incorrect image URL, unsupported image format, or missing og:image tag. Our OG checker helps you identify and fix these issues.
Do I need different OpenGraph tags for different platforms?
While basic OG tags work across all platforms, you can optimize for specific platforms. For example, Twitter/X supports additional twitter:card meta tags for enhanced previews.
How often should I test my OpenGraph tags?
It's recommended to test your OG tags whenever you update your website content, change images, or modify meta information. Regular testing ensures consistent social media appearance.
Can I test OpenGraph tags before my website goes live?
Yes, you can manually edit the OG tags in our preview tool to test how your content will appear on social media before implementing the changes on your website.
What's the difference between OpenGraph and Twitter Cards?
OpenGraph is a general protocol used by most platforms, while Twitter Cards are specific to Twitter/X. Our tool shows you both OG and Twitter Card previews for comprehensive testing.
How do I implement the OpenGraph tags after testing?
After testing with our OG viewer, you can implement the meta tags in your website's <head> section. The tool shows you the exact meta tags needed for optimal social media sharing.
