Open Graph Checker

What Is an Open Graph Checker?

The Open Graph Checker is a free online tool that inspects any URL and displays the Open Graph tags it currently has. Open Graph tags are HTML meta tags that control how your pages appear when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack and other social platforms. They define the title, description and image shown in link previews.

Why Check Open Graph Tags?

When someone shares your page on social media, the platform reads your Open Graph tags to build the link preview card. If OG tags are missing or incorrect, the preview may show generic content, broken images or truncated text. This reduces click-through rates from social shares.

Checking your Open Graph tags ensures that every page on your site displays correctly when shared. It also helps you debug issues where social previews are not showing the expected content.

How It Works

Enter the URL you want to check. The tool fetches the page and extracts all Open Graph meta tags. Results show og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type and other OG properties with their current values.

Common Open Graph Tags

• og:title — The title shown in the social media preview
• og:description — The description shown in the preview
• og:image — The image displayed with the link preview
• og:url — The canonical URL of the page
• og:type — The content type (article, website, product, etc.)
• og:site_name — The name of your website

Use Cases

• Social media audits — Verify that pages display correctly when shared
• Debugging previews — Identify why social previews show incorrect content
• Competitor research — See how competitors configure their Open Graph tags
• Quality assurance — Verify OG implementation after site launches

Limitations

This tool reads Open Graph tags from the publicly accessible version of a page. Some platforms cache social previews, so changes to OG tags may take time to appear in actual social shares.

Accuracy Notice

This tool reads Open Graph tags as they appear in the pages HTML. Social platforms may cache previews, so changes may not appear immediately in actual shares.
