Add Twitter Card meta tags

20 min Impact: low Effort: low ✓ Scan-verified — no manual checkbox

Twitter/X card tags control how your links preview specifically on that platform — separate from Open Graph, and without them a shared link falls back to a plain text link instead of a rich card with image and description.

Twitter/X uses its own card meta tags separate from Open Graph. Without them, links shared there fall back to a plain, unstyled preview.

How to fix it

1

Add Twitter card meta tags

twitter:card (usually "summary_large_image"), twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image.
2

Reuse your Open Graph image if sized correctly

The same 1200x630px image used for og:image typically works fine for the Twitter card too.
3

Test with the platform's own preview tool

Confirm the card actually renders as expected before relying on it.

Common mistakes

If Twitter card tags are missing, the platform sometimes falls back to your Open Graph tags anyway — but explicitly setting both ensures reliable, predictable rendering rather than depending on fallback behavior.

How you'll know it's done

Twitter card tags are present and render correctly when tested.
