Social Preview Tool Social Preview Guide

What the Social Preview tool checks

The Social Preview tool fetches your page, extracts Open Graph and Twitter Card tags, validates the image URL and dimensions, and renders a preview showing how the link card will appear on each major platform. It flags issues including missing tags, invalid image URLs, wrong image dimensions and missing required properties.

Check every important page: Your homepage, product pages, blog posts and landing pages should all have correctly configured social tags. A poorly configured OG image on a product page can significantly reduce the click-through rate when that product is shared.

The most common social preview issues

Wrong image dimensions

The ideal og:image is 1200 x 630 pixels. Images that are too small (under 600 x 315) may not render on some platforms. Square images (1:1 ratio) render differently than landscape images — design your OG image specifically for the 1.91:1 ratio.

Image blocked by robots.txt

If your robots.txt blocks Facebot or Twitterbot from crawling images, social platforms cannot fetch your og:image. Check your robots.txt allows access to your image directories.

Missing twitter:card tag

Without a twitter:card meta tag, Twitter/X will not show a card preview — just a plain link. Add twitter:card set to "summary_large_image" for a large image card or "summary" for a small image card.
