Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Link Preview Generator actually show?
A Link Preview Generator displays how a webpage appears when shared on platforms like Facebook or Twitter. It extracts metadata such as title, description, and image, then renders a visual preview. This helps you verify if your content looks correct before sharing it publicly.
Why is my link preview image not showing?
This usually happens when the og:image tag is missing, incorrect, or blocked. The tool helps you identify whether the image URL is valid and accessible. It also shows if dimensions or formats might cause issues, allowing you to fix the preview before sharing.
Can I use this tool for any website URL?
Yes, you can paste any publicly accessible URL into the tool. It fetches metadata from the page and generates previews based on available tags. If the site restricts access or lacks proper tags, the preview may appear incomplete or limited.
What is the SEO & Social Health score?
The SEO & Social Health score gives a quick overview of how well your page is optimized for sharing and search visibility. It evaluates the presence of key meta tags and highlights whether your content meets basic standards for social previews.
Does this tool modify my website?
No, the tool only reads and displays metadata from your webpage. It does not make any changes to your site. You must manually update your meta tags in your website's code or CMS if fixes are needed.
How often should I check link previews?
You should check previews whenever you publish new content or update existing pages. It is also helpful before running campaigns or sharing links widely. Regular checks ensure your content always appears correctly across platforms.
How do I improve my link preview appearance?
To improve your preview, ensure your page includes proper Open Graph tags like og:title, og:description, and og:image. Use high-quality images and clear descriptions. Testing with this tool helps confirm everything renders correctly before sharing.
What is the difference between Open Graph and Twitter Card?

Can this tool help with SEO optimization?
