Code snippet for the <head> of your page:
<meta property="og:title" content="Page title">
<meta property="og:description" content="Short description of the content">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/preview-image.jpg">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://example.com/page">
<meta property="og:type" content="website">
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
See exactly how your links are shared
When somebody shares your page on Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp or X, the Open Graph tags decide which image, title and description appear. If they are missing, the platforms fall back to an unattractive guess assembled from random page content. The InspectWP Open Graph Checker reads all relevant meta tags and renders a real preview – so you see how your link actually looks before you share it.
Twitter Cards, card types and Open Graph fallback under test
X evaluates its own twitter: tags and falls back to the Open Graph values when they are absent. The decisive setting is the card type: summary renders a small square thumbnail next to the text, whereas summary_large_image produces the wide image card. Mixing these two up is one of the most common configuration mistakes. We show you both variants and point out which one your page currently serves.
