Open Graph tags are partially configured — some improvements recommended.
Warning::
Missing og:image
The og:image tag provides a preview image for social sharing.
Info::
og:title is long (86 characters)
Titles over 60 characters may be truncated in social sharing previews.
Got: 86 chars Expected: 25–60 chars
Info::
Missing og:type
The og:type tag helps social platforms categorize the content.
Info::
Missing twitter:card
Without twitter:card, Twitter falls back to Open Graph tags. Adding it gives you more control.

The og:image tag provides a preview image for social sharing.

Why this matters

No og:image means social shares are imageless — measurably less engaging than image-cards across every major platform.

Learn more

Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn all use og:image (or twitter:image as a fallback) for share-card thumbnails. Without one, the post renders as a text-only card. A 1200x630px image (Twitter's preferred size) covers all platforms.

URL: 86 chars

Titles over 60 characters may be truncated in social sharing previews.

Expected: 25–60 chars
Why this matters

og:title borderline-too-long — Facebook/LinkedIn may truncate. Aim for ~60-70 characters max.

The og:type tag helps social platforms categorize the content.

Why this matters

Default og:type is 'website' but the right value (article, product, profile) unlocks richer metadata fields and higher engagement.

Learn more

og:type controls which other og: fields a platform respects. og:type=article enables og:article:published_time, author, and section — surfaced in news cards. og:type=product enables price/availability fields surfaced by Pinterest and shopping integrations. Default 'website' silently disables those.

Without twitter:card, Twitter falls back to Open Graph tags. Adding it gives you more control.

Why this matters

Without twitter:card, Twitter renders posts as plain text — no preview image, no structured layout.

Learn more

Twitter requires `<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">` (or summary) to render share-cards at all. Without it, links appear as raw text and engagement plummets vs cards. Twitter also falls back to og:image if twitter:image isn't set, so configure both.
