The "name" property is required for the WebSite schema type.

Why this matters

Schema markup missing required properties is silently rejected by Google — your structured data appears in source but never as a rich result.

Learn more

Each schema.org type has required properties (Article needs headline + author + datePublished; Product needs name + offers; etc.). Missing them means Google's rich-result eligibility check fails. The Search Console Rich Results Test surfaces specific gaps. Fix the missing property; rich results re-appear within hours.

URL: https://schema.org/

The @context should be "https://schema.org" for search engines to recognize the data.

Expected: https://schema.org
Why this matters

JSON-LD without @context is invalid structured data — Google ignores the entire block.

Learn more

@context must be 'https://schema.org' (or the schema-specific URL). Without it, the block isn't parseable as schema.org JSON-LD and Google skips it. Most schema generators handle this; manual edits sometimes drop the field.

Adding "description" can improve how search engines display your content.

Why this matters

Recommended schema properties unlock richer SERP layouts — without them you get the basic rich result instead of the enhanced one.

Learn more

Recommended properties expand what Google can render. E.g., adding aggregateRating to Product unlocks star ratings; adding image to Article unlocks the image-card variant. Each recommended property is a direct SERP-real-estate gain.

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.
