Question 1

Does bankrate.com declare an og:type?

Accepted Answer

No - bankrate.com does not set an `og:type` meta tag. Most platforms default to `website`, but explicitly declaring it ensures consistent rendering.

bankrate.com sets `og:image` but does not include `og:image:width` and `og:image:height`. Explicit dimensions let platforms render the preview faster without downloading the image first.
