What is the recommended image size for Open Graph cards?

The optimal dimensions for Open Graph (Facebook, LinkedIn) and Twitter summary_large_image cards is 1200 x 630 pixels (an aspect ratio of 1.91:1). Images should be under 8MB in file size.

Why does Facebook or Twitter show the wrong image when shared?

Social platforms heavily cache social preview cards. If you change your og:image or meta tags, you must refresh the platform cache using Facebook's Sharing Debugger or Twitter's Card Validator.

Can Twitter use Facebook Open Graph tags if Twitter cards are absent?

Yes. Twitter falls back to Open Graph tags (like og:title, og:description, and og:image) when specific twitter: tags are missing, but defining both guarantees consistent branding.

Why Open Graph & Twitter Cards Matter for Search & Social Traffic

When visitors share your web pages on social messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, iMessage) and social networks (Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn), social crawlers inspect your HTML for Open Graph (OG) protocol tags. Pages with optimized social cards receive up to 300% more engagement and click-throughs compared to plain text link URLs.
