Essential Open Graph Tags

The basic tags that control social media previews:

<!-- Page title for social sharing -->
<meta property="og:title" content="Your Page Title" />

<!-- Description that appears in social previews -->
<meta property="og:description" content="Compelling description of your content" />

<!-- Image that appears in social previews -->
<meta property="og:image" content="https://yoursite.com/image.jpg" />

<!-- Canonical URL of the page -->
<meta property="og:url" content="https://yoursite.com/page" />

<!-- Type of content (website, article, etc.) -->
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />

Common issues

  • Missing Tags: No Open Graph tags found in the page head
  • Broken Images: Image URLs that return 404 errors
  • Wrong Image Size: Images too small (recommended: 1200x630 pixels)
  • Empty Content: Generic or missing titles and descriptions
