What Are Open Graph Tags and Why They Matter
Open Graph (OG) tags are HTML meta tags placed in the <head> section of a webpage. They were originally created by Facebook in 2010 and are now used by virtually all major social media platforms — including WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Slack, and Twitter — to generate rich link previews when someone shares your URL.
Without OG tags, social platforms either display a blank card or pick random text and images from your page — which often looks unprofessional and reduces click-through rates. With properly configured OG tags, you control exactly how your content appears in every share.
Core Open Graph Tags
The recommended og:image dimensions are 1200×630 pixels (1.91:1 ratio) for Facebook and LinkedIn. Twitter Summary Cards work best at 1200×600 pixels. Always use absolute URLs (starting with https://) for images.

Example 1: E-commerce Product Page (Flipkart, India)
A product page with og:type = "product", a high-quality 1200×630 product image, and a compelling title like "Buy Wireless Earbuds – 30Hr Battery" gets significantly more clicks when shared in WhatsApp groups than a page with no OG tags showing a generic brand logo.
Use this checker to verify that your Shopify or WooCommerce product pages have correct OG tags before running social media campaigns.
Example 2: News Article (The Hindu, India)
News websites like regional Indian publishers often use article:published_time and article:author OG tags alongside standard ones. This checker detects those article-specific tags so you can verify they are correctly implemented on each published story.
Example 3: SaaS Product Landing Page (International)
A SaaS company in the UK checks their homepage OG tags before a product launch. The checker reveals that og:image:width and og:image:height are missing — a common issue that causes Facebook to request the image dimensions separately, slightly slowing the preview render. Adding these tags speeds up link preview generation.
Example 4: Blog Post Sharing (Bengaluru Startup)
A startup in Bengaluru shares blog posts on LinkedIn. Their developer uses this checker to confirm that each post has a unique og:title and og:description — not just the default site-wide values — ensuring each shared link has a distinct, engaging preview tailored to the article content.
