Once you’ve published your content and set up your Open Graph tags, it’s a good idea to preview how it will appear when shared.

My favorite tool for this is OpenGraph.xyz.

Just paste in the URL of the page you want to preview:

Then hit “check website.”

Now the tool will show you how that page’s contents will be previewed when it gets shared on social networks. Including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Discord.

If things don’t appear quite as they should, you can use Facebook’s sharing debugger tool to see any warnings.

Or use the Twitter card validator to see similar info from Twitter’s perspective.
