How to Check If Your Open Graph Tags Are Working
Published June 23, 2026 · 3 min read
You've added OG tags to your page. But are they actually working? Here's how to check — and fix — your Open Graph meta tags across every platform.
1. Our Free OG Checker
The fastest way to check: paste your URL into our free OG image checker. It shows your og:image preview plus all meta tags in one place.
2. Platform-Specific Debuggers
Facebook Sharing Debugger
developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
Paste your URL and click "Debug". Facebook will re-scrape your page and show exactly what og:title, og:description, and og:image it detected. This also clears Facebook's cache for your URL.
Twitter Card Validator
cards-dev.twitter.com/validator
Shows how your link will appear as a Twitter Card. Requires a Twitter/X account to use.
LinkedIn Post Inspector
Similar to Facebook's debugger. Shows the preview LinkedIn will display and lets you force a re-scrape.
3. Manual Check
Right-click your page → View Page Source. Look for these tags in the <head>:
<meta property="og:title" content="...">
<meta property="og:description" content="...">
<meta property="og:image" content="...">
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200">
<meta property="og:image:height" content="630">Common Issues
- Image not showing: Facebook cached an old version. Run it through the Sharing Debugger to force refresh.
- Wrong image: You might have multiple og:image tags. Platforms use the first one.
- Missing dimensions: Without og:image:width/height, Facebook delays image rendering.
