Open Graph Checker

What Are Open Graph Tags?

Open Graph (OG) tags are HTML meta tags that control how your web pages appear when shared on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Slack, and Discord. Without proper OG tags, platforms may show incorrect titles, descriptions, or no image at all.

Essential Open Graph Tags

• og:title — The title shown in link previews (recommended: under 70 characters)
• og:description — The description shown below the title (recommended: under 160 characters)
• og:image — The preview image URL (recommended: 1200x630 pixels for best display)
• og:url — The canonical URL of the page
• og:type — The content type (website, article, product, etc.)

Twitter Card Tags

Twitter/X uses its own set of meta tags (twitter:card, twitter:title, etc.) but falls back to Open Graph tags when Twitter-specific tags aren't present. The twitter:card type determines the preview layout — use summary_large_image for maximum visual impact.

Why Check Your OG Tags?

When you share a link on social media, the platform scrapes your page for OG tags to build a rich preview. Broken or missing tags mean your content gets shared with a generic, unclickable preview — costing you clicks and engagement.

Use this free OG checker to validate your tags before sharing. It shows you exactly what Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other platforms will display, and highlights any issues to fix.

OG Checker vs Facebook Debugger

Facebook's Sharing Debugger is the official tool but only shows Facebook previews and is often slow or unreliable. Our Open Graph Checker shows previews for multiple platforms at once, gives you a score, and identifies specific issues with actionable fixes.

Check OG Tags Programmatically
