Missing og:site_name
The og:site_name tag displays the website name in social previews.

The og:image URL could not be fetched. Social platforms won't be able to display it.

Why this matters

An unreachable og:image URL (404, DNS fail, slow timeout) means social platforms cache the failure and serve no image for hours.

Learn more

Social platforms (Facebook, Twitter) cache OG metadata aggressively — including failed image fetches. A momentarily-broken og:image can leave your shares imageless for hours. Test og:image URLs in Facebook's Sharing Debugger to force re-cache after fixing.

URL: 242 chars

Descriptions over 200 characters may be truncated in social sharing previews.

Expected: 55–200 chars
Why this matters

og:description borderline-too-long — social platforms truncate around ~200 chars.

Source: Open Graph Protocol

The og:site_name tag displays the website name in social previews.

Why this matters

Without og:site_name, social cards omit the brand attribution — users see the post but not who published it.

Learn more

og:site_name appears in the social card chrome (above the title in Facebook/LinkedIn previews). Without it, posts read as anonymous URLs. Set it to your brand name to get free attribution on every share.

Adding structured data helps search engines understand your content and can enable rich results.

Adding structured data helps search engines understand your content and can enable rich results.

Why this matters

Without schema.org markup, your pages can't appear as rich results (stars, FAQs, recipes) in search.

Learn more

Structured data is what unlocks rich snippets — review stars, FAQ accordions, recipe cards, breadcrumbs, etc. — that take up more SERP space and dramatically improve click-through. The schema.org vocabulary is well-documented and JSON-LD is the easiest format.

No structured data found

Structured data (JSON-LD) helps search engines understand your content better. Adding it can improve your search result appearance.

Common types include:

  • WebSite — your site identity and search box
  • Organization — your company information
  • Article — blog posts and news articles
  • Product — e-commerce product pages
  • BreadcrumbList — navigation paths

Findings

  • Brand name differs across channels — users see inconsistent identity
  • Add an apple-touch-icon and at least two PNG sizes (32x32 + 192x192)
  • No Organization schema — Google can't render your logo in the knowledge panel
  • No discoverable contact info — trust signal is weak, legal risk is higher in regulated regions

How consistently your brand appears across channels — shared link previews, structured data, favicon, contact info.
