Fetching and analysing Open Graph tags…

Open Graph tags control how your content appears when shared on social media. Our free Open Graph Checker validates all OG and Twitter Card tags on any webpage and shows you an accurate social media preview — helping you fix missing tags before your content goes viral.

What Are Open Graph Tags?

Open Graph (OG) is a protocol created by Facebook in 2010 that standardises how web content is displayed when shared on social media platforms. OG tags are HTML meta tags in a page's <head> section that define the title, description, image, and type of content that social platforms display in link previews.

Without OG tags, platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp auto-generate previews by scraping whatever text and images they find — often with poor results. With properly implemented OG tags, you control exactly how your content appears, dramatically improving click-through rates on social shares.

Essential Open Graph Tags

  • og:title — The title displayed in the social media card (recommended: 60–90 characters).
  • og:description — Short description shown below the title (recommended: 100–200 characters).
  • og:image — The preview image URL (recommended: 1200×630 pixels, under 8MB).
  • og:url — The canonical URL of the page.
  • og:type — Content type: website, article, product, profile.
  • og:site_name — Your website or brand name.

Twitter Card Tags

  • twitter:card — Card type: summary, summary_large_image, app, player.
  • twitter:title — Title for the Twitter card.
  • twitter:description — Description for the Twitter card.
  • twitter:image — Image URL for the Twitter card.
  • twitter:site — Your Twitter @username.

Impact of Open Graph Tags on Marketing Performance

  • Posts with OG images get 3× more engagement on Facebook than those without.
  • LinkedIn posts with custom OG images receive 98% more comments than text-only posts.
  • WhatsApp message links with OG previews have 5× higher click rates than bare URLs.
  • Proper OG implementation is a prerequisite for Facebook Instant Articles and Google AMP.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended OG image size? +
The recommended Open Graph image size is 1200×630 pixels with a minimum of 600×315 pixels. Images smaller than 600×315 will not display as large cards on Facebook. Use JPEG or PNG format under 8MB. For Twitter large card, the image should be at least 1200×628 pixels.
Do OG tags affect Google SEO rankings? +
OG tags themselves are not a direct Google ranking factor. However, they indirectly impact SEO by improving social sharing performance, which drives more backlinks, brand searches, and referral traffic — all of which are positive ranking signals.
Why is my Facebook link preview showing the wrong image? +
Facebook caches OG data. After updating your OG tags, use the Facebook Sharing Debugger (developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/) to clear Facebook's cache and refresh the preview. This is the most common cause of outdated or incorrect social previews.
How do I add Open Graph tags to WordPress? +
Install Yoast SEO or Rank Math — both automatically generate OG tags from your post title, description, and featured image. Alternatively, use our Meta Tag Generator to create OG tags manually and add them to your theme's header.php.
