What this Open Graph checker tests

Paste any public URL and the checker fetches the page the same way a social network crawler does. It reads the <title>, the meta description, and every og: and twitter: meta tag, then runs these tests:

You also get the full list of meta tags it found, ready to copy, and a preview of the link card on X (Twitter), Facebook, and LinkedIn.

How to check your Open Graph tags

  1. Enter the full URL of the page, including https://.
  2. Select Check Open Graph.
  3. Fix any failed test in your HTML, deploy, and check again.
  4. Compare the previews. If the image is cropped or blurry, use a 1200×630 px image (1.91:1).

Why a link preview still looks wrong after a fix

Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Slack, and other apps cache link previews, sometimes for days. After you change your tags, ask each platform to fetch the page again: use the Facebook Sharing Debugger's Scrape Again button or LinkedIn's Post Inspector. Changing the image file name or adding a query string such as ?v=2 to the og:image URL also forces a fresh download.

Get your page featured

When every test passes and your OG image is 1200×630 px with a clear design, you can submit it to the gallery. Read the submission guidelines first.
