Identify Errors: We display a raw list of your discovered og:title, og:image, and og:description tags, highlighting any missing or broken elements so you can fix them in your code.
Why Are Open Graph (OG) Tags Important? Have you ever shared a link in a group chat only for it to show up as a blank gray square with no title? That happens when a website lacks Open Graph tags. Originally created by Facebook, OG tags are snippets of HTML code that control how URLs are displayed when shared across the internet.
Boost Click-Through Rates (CTR): A link with a massive, eye-catching image and a compelling title gets dramatically more clicks than a plain text URL.
Control Your Brand Identity: Instead of letting social media platforms randomly scrape the first image or paragraph they find on your page, OG tags let you dictate exactly what users see.
Universal Standard: Almost all major platforms — including LinkedIn, Pinterest, Slack, Discord, and iMessage — use Open Graph data to generate rich link previews.
How to Fix a Missing Link Preview Image The most common Open Graph issue is a broken or missing thumbnail image. If our checker shows that your image is missing, ensure you have checked the following:
Missing Tag: Ensure the <meta property="og:image" content="URL_HERE" /> tag actually exists in the <head> of your HTML.
Relative vs. Absolute URLs: Your image URL must be absolute (e.g., https://yourwebsite.com/image.jpg). It cannot be a relative path (e.g., /images/pic.jpg).
Image Dimensions: Social platforms have strict requirements. Your OG image should ideally be 1200 x 630 pixels for the highest quality display across all networks.
