❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Open Graph Preview
What is Open Graph?+
Facebook-created standard for social sharing metadata. Other platforms (LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack) also use OG tags. Critical for social marketing.
Required Open Graph tags?+
og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type. Without these, sharing shows ugly auto-extracted preview or fails completely.
Optimal OG image size?+
1200 x 630 pixels (1.91:1 ratio). Minimum 600x315. Maximum 5MB. PNG/JPG. Will be cropped/scaled depending on platform.
Why is my Facebook share preview wrong?+
Common issues: missing OG tags, image too small, wrong URL, Facebook cache (use Sharing Debugger to refresh).
How to clear Facebook share cache?+
Facebook Sharing Debugger: developers.facebook.com/tools/debug. Enter URL, click "Scrape Again". Updates Facebook's cached preview.
Difference between og:type values?+
website (general), article (blog posts), book, product, video, music. Article gets richer preview. Use appropriate type for each page.
Should I add OG tags to every page?+
Yes! Each page needs unique OG tags reflecting its content. Generic homepage OG on all pages = bad sharing experience.
Difference between Open Graph and Twitter Card?+
OG = most platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.). Twitter Card = Twitter specific. Implement both. If only one, OG covers more platforms.
Why does WhatsApp show wrong preview?+
WhatsApp uses OG tags. Common issues: missing og:image, image not absolute URL (use https://...), image too small, URL not crawlable.
How to test before posting?+
Facebook Debugger, LinkedIn Post Inspector, Twitter Card Validator (for Twitter Cards). Test before launching campaigns.
Can I use video as OG content?+
Yes! og:video tag for video preview. og:type=video for video pages. og:image as fallback for platforms not supporting video preview.
OG image must be on same domain?+
No, can be CDN URL. But must be absolute URL (https://cdn.com/img.jpg, not /img.jpg). Same domain often more reliable.
