Common Open Graph Issues & How to Fix Them

Missing og:image

Without og:image, platforms show generic thumbnails or no image at all. Add a 1200x630px image for best results.

Title Too Long

Keep og:title under 60 characters to prevent truncation on most platforms.

No Description

og:description should be 155-160 characters for optimal display across platforms.

Wrong Image Size

Use 1200x630px for Facebook/LinkedIn, 1200x600px for Twitter with 2:1 aspect ratio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Open Graph tags?

Open Graph tags are HTML meta tags that control how URLs are displayed when shared on social media platforms. They define the title, description, image, and other elements of the preview card.

Why isn't my og:image showing?

Common reasons include: image URL is not absolute, image is too small (minimum 200x200px), image format not supported, or the image URL is blocked by robots.txt.

How often do platforms update OG tag cache?

Facebook caches for 7 days, Twitter for about 7 days, LinkedIn for 7 days. You can force refresh using platform-specific debugging tools.

What's the best og:image size?

1200x630 pixels works best across all platforms. Minimum is 200x200px, but we recommend at least 600x315px for quality.

Do I need both OG and Twitter tags?

Twitter falls back to OG tags if Twitter-specific tags aren't present, but having both ensures optimal display on all platforms.
