What an Open Graph check can tell you
The Open Graph protocol defines four basic properties: og:title, og:type, og:image and og:url. A description adds context, while image alternative text describes the image. This inspector lists each occurrence in source order. Repeated properties can be intentional arrays; conflicting titles or URLs deserve a closer look.
Start with the HTML head
Copy the head from your page source, or paste a snippet of title, meta and link tags. For example, a studio article might use “A week of making things” as its Open Graph title and a short summary as its description. The example button supplies a complete starting point. Metadata inside scripts, comments, templates or the body is not treated as head metadata.
Resolve relative URLs deliberately
An image path such as /images/field-notes.jpg needs a page origin. Enter an explicit absolute HTTP or HTTPS base URL to see the resolved address as text. Pasted base tags are ignored. Neither the original nor the resolved address is opened, so a valid-looking URL does not prove that the resource exists.
Understand the limits of a pasted-source check
The card uses the first nonempty Open Graph title, description and URL, falling back to ordinary page metadata. It contains no image and is illustrative only. It does not reproduce a social platform, inspect a live network cache, verify crawler access or predict how a network will crop or refresh a link. Malformed markup is recovered using HTML5 parsing rules; review the reported issues and original tags before making changes.
Move from metadata to a reviewed post
