Social Tags

Open Graph and Twitter tags used when the site is shared

What it is

Reads the meta tags that tell search engines and social platforms how to present the page: title, description, preview image, author, canonical URL and linked social accounts. Most follow either the Open Graph or Twitter Card conventions.

Why it matters

This is how a site describes itself when it thinks a machine is reading. The preview title and description often differ from the on-page copy, and the tags regularly name authors, social accounts or a parent organisation that appear nowhere else.
