Question 1

What is buzzfeed.com's Open Graph type?

Accepted Answer

buzzfeed.com declares `og:type` as `website`. This tells Slack how to categorize the content when generating a preview.

Question 2

Does buzzfeed.com declare image dimensions?

Accepted Answer

buzzfeed.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.

Question 3

What headline does buzzfeed.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

buzzfeed.com's social headline is "BuzzFeed" (8 characters).

Question 4

What description does buzzfeed.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

buzzfeed.com's social description reads: "BuzzFeed has breaking news, vital journalism, quizzes, videos, celeb news, Tasty food videos, recipes, DIY hacks, and all the trending buzz you’ll wan…" (225 characters).

Question 5

What site name does buzzfeed.com display on social cards?

Accepted Answer

buzzfeed.com sets `og:site_name` to "BuzzFeed". This appears as a small attribution label on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack.

Question 6

What's the biggest issue with buzzfeed.com's Slack preview?

Accepted Answer

og:image uses a relative URL. Social platforms cannot resolve relative URLs. The image must be an absolute URL starting with https://.

Accepted Answer

Review the recommendations above - they list specific issues and provide ready-to-paste meta tag snippets. The highest-impact fixes are usually a properly sized `og:image` (800×418), a clear `og:title` under 60 characters, and a 50-155 character `og:description`.
