Open Graph Checker

The Open Graph Checker inspects a URL's Open Graph meta tags and shows a preview of how the page will appear when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms that use the Open Graph protocol.

Why Social Previews Sometimes Look Wrong

Social platforms don't generate a share preview by scraping your visible page content — they read specific Open Graph meta tags embedded in the page's head section (og:title, og:description, og:image). If these tags are missing, misconfigured, or point to a broken image URL, the resulting share preview can show a blank image, the wrong title, or fall back to generic and unhelpful text pulled from elsewhere on the page.

Key Tags a Checker Verifies

• og:title — the headline shown in the share preview, which can differ from the page's actual title tag if set separately.
• og:description — the preview text, separate from the meta description used in search results.
• og:image — the preview thumbnail; broken or missing image URLs are one of the most common causes of an ugly, empty-looking share card.
• og:url — the canonical URL the share should point back to, important for consolidating engagement metrics on a single URL.

Why Checking Before Sharing Matters

Social platforms aggressively cache Open Graph data once a URL has been shared, meaning a broken preview can persist for days even after the underlying tags are fixed. Checking and correcting Open Graph tags before a link is ever shared publicly avoids this caching headache entirely.
