When to use an OG checker
Before every launch
Check your product page OG tags before your launch tweet or Product Hunt post. A broken image kills first impressions.
Email campaign links
Some email clients and Slack/Teams unfurl links. Verify your landing page previews correctly before hitting send.
Social media posts
Facebook and LinkedIn pull og:image when you share a URL. Check it actually loads and isn't cropped badly.
Competitor research
Inspect how competitors structure their OG tags — title length, description style, image dimensions — for inspiration.
E-commerce product pages
Product pages often have missing or auto-generated OG images. Catch these before customers share your pages.
Blog & content publishing
Verify every new blog post has a proper og:image and og:description before sharing on LinkedIn or in your newsletter.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Open Graph checker?
An Open Graph checker (also called an OG preview tool or social card debugger) fetches the meta tags from a URL and shows you how it will appear when shared on social media. Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Slack, and Twitter/X all read og:title, og:description, and og:image to build the preview card shown alongside your link. An OG checker lets you verify these tags are set correctly before your content goes live.
Why OG tags directly affect click-through rates
Links with a properly set og:image get dramatically more clicks than plain text links — studies consistently show rich preview cards outperform bare URLs by 2–3× on click-through rate. A missing og:image means Facebook shows a blank card, LinkedIn shows a tiny icon, and WhatsApp shows nothing at all. Checking OG tags before publishing is one of the highest-leverage, lowest-effort improvements any content marketer can make.
Twitter Card vs Open Graph — what's the difference?
Twitter/X uses its own set of meta tags (twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:image, twitter:description). If Twitter Card tags are present, Twitter uses them — ignoring the og:* equivalents. If Twitter Card tags are absent, Twitter falls back to og:* tags. Alshorty's OG checker reads both sets and shows you any mismatches, so you can ensure consistent previews across every platform.
