What is Open Graph?

Open Graph is a protocol used by social media platforms to allow users to share links to external web pages with a rich preview, which is usually a summary or a thumbnail image of the page.

When a user shares a link on a social media platform that supports Open Graph, the platform can use the metadata provided by the Open Graph tags in the HTML of the page to generate a rich preview of the link, which typically includes a title, a description, and an image. This allows users to see a preview of the linked page before they click on the link, which can help them decide whether they want to visit the page or not.

Why use an Open Graph checker?

An Open Graph checker is a tool that allows you to see how a webpage will appear when shared on a social media platform that uses Open Graph. This can be useful for a number of reasons:

1. To ensure that the page has the correct Open Graph tags, so that the page is accurately represented when shared on social media.
2. To preview how the page will look when shared on social media, so that you can make any necessary changes to improve the appearance of the page.
3. To troubleshoot any issues with the Open Graph tags on the page, such as missing tags or incorrect values.

Using an Open Graph checker can help you ensure that your pages are accurately represented when shared on social media, which can help you attract more traffic to your site.

What tags are in Open Graph?

The Open Graph protocol defines a number of tags that can be used in the HTML of a webpage to specify metadata about the page. The most commonly used tags are:

1. og:title: The title of the webpage. This will be used as the title of the link when the page is shared on a social media platform.

2. og:description: A brief description of the webpage. This will be used as the description of the link when the page is shared on a social media platform.

3. og:image: The URL of an image that represents the webpage. This image will be used as the thumbnail image of the link when the page is shared on a social media platform.

4. og:url: The URL of the webpage. This will be used as the target of the link when the page is shared on a social media platform.

There are many other Open Graph tags that can be used to specify additional metadata about the page, such as the type of content on the page, the language of the page, and the name of the site that the page belongs to.
