How to use the Open Graph Checker
- Enter the URL you want to share and press "Check".
- "Share preview" simulates the card social platforms display.
- Review each tag in the Open Graph and X Card tables; yellow and red items should be added.
- After updating your site, use Facebook's Sharing Debugger "Scrape Again" so platforms refresh their cache.

FAQ
I changed og:image but Facebook still shows the old one. Why?
Platforms cache share data. Open Facebook's Sharing Debugger, enter the URL and press "Scrape Again"; for other apps, adding a query string such as ?v=2 forces a refresh.
Does og:image need an absolute URL?
Yes. Use a full https:// URL — relative paths fail on many platforms.
What is the best share image size?
1200 × 630 px (1.91:1) works across Facebook, X, LinkedIn and Discord; keep it under 5 MB as JPG or PNG.
Why does the image fail to load?
The URL may be wrong, the server may block hotlinking, or the image may require a login. Social platforms will hit the same problem.
