Metadata evidence, not guesswork
Check the metadata behind a public link preview
Inspect four usable signals, see their source and image host, and turn missing metadata into a concrete remediation list.
Inspect four pieces of preview evidence
Check the resolved title, description, site name and declared social-image URL, including which source supplied each usable value.
A focused evidence check
- 01
Resolved title
See whether og:title, twitter:title or the document title supplied a usable result.
- 02
Resolved description
Identify the Open Graph, Twitter or document-description fallback that supplied the text.
- 03
Resolved site name
Confirm whether a site-name tag or hostname fallback identifies the publisher clearly.
- 04
Declared image and host
Review the selected image URL and its hostname without claiming the remote file itself was validated.
Metadata audit FAQ
OG metadata checking questions
The boundary between metadata inspection and remote-image validation.
Does the checker change or publish metadata?
No. It reads the public response and shows evidence. Make durable changes in your application, page template or CMS.
Does it measure the declared image?
No. It reports the usable image URL and host but does not download the file or verify pixels, bytes, crop behavior or safe areas.
Why can a platform still show an old preview?
Social networks maintain independent caches and rendering rules. After fixing the page, use that platform's official debugger or refresh workflow when available.
