VP SEO - Social Cards

For every front-end page, VP SEO outputs a complete set of OpenGraph and Twitter Card tags so your links render as rich previews across social platforms.

What gets output

  • OpenGraph: og:title, og:description, og:type, og:url, og:site_name, og:locale, og:image PRO adds og:image:width, height, type, alt.
  • Twitter Card: twitter:card (large image), twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image PRO adds twitter:image:alt.
  • Article meta: article:published_time, article:modified_time PRO adds article:author, article:section, article:tag.

Image rules

  • Use a raster image (PNG/JPG) at 1200 × 630. SVGs are skipped automatically because Facebook, X and LinkedIn don't render them.
  • Image priority per article: Social Image PRO → article intro image → global Default Image. The first non-SVG candidate wins.
  • Always set a Default Image so pages without their own image still get a card.

Social platforms cache aggressively. After you change a title or image, use a debugger (Facebook Sharing Debugger, X Card Validator, or opengraph.xyz) to force a re-fetch and preview the result.
