How to Check If Your Open Graph Tags Are Working

Jun 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

Paste your URL and click "Debug". Facebook will re-scrape your page and show exactly what og tags it detected.

Twitter Card Validator

LinkedIn Post Inspector

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.
