What it means
Open Graph is a set of meta tags, such as og:title, og:description, og:image and og:url, that describe a page for link previews. X (Twitter) also reads its own twitter: tags and falls back to Open Graph.
We flag pages without og:title or og:image.
Why it matters
A shared link with a clear title and image is easier to recognize and more likely to be clicked than a bare address. Without the tags, each network guesses, and the result is often the wrong image, an odd excerpt or no picture at all.
Open Graph isn’t a Google ranking signal; it affects how your pages look when people share them.
How to find it yourself
- View the page source and search for og:.
- The meta tag checker shows the tags and a preview of the share card.
How to fix it
On any website
- Add og:title, og:description, og:url and og:image to every page; og:image needs an absolute https URL to a large landscape image (1200 × 630 pixels is a common size).
- Keep the tags in the HTML the server sends: many preview crawlers don’t run JavaScript.
On Shopify
- Set a social sharing image under Online Store › Preferences; most themes output Open Graph tags from each product’s image and description.
On WordPress and WooCommerce
- Use your SEO plugin’s social settings to set default and per-page Open Graph images.
How to check the fix
- Run the meta tag checker and look at the share preview.
- Networks cache previews: use their own debugging tools, such as Facebook’s Sharing Debugger, to refresh them.
How FixReports finds it
The SEO checker looks for og:title and og:image on every page it tests; the meta tag checker shows all Open Graph and Twitter tags with a preview.
