Question 1

Does edx.org declare an og:type?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Does edx.org have a social share image?

Accepted Answer

No - edx.org does not currently set an `og:image` or `twitter:image`. Slack will fall back to extracting an image from the page or render no preview image at all.

Question 3

What headline does edx.org use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

edx.org's social headline is "edX | Online Courses, Certificates & Degrees from Leading Institutions" (70 characters).

Question 4

What description does edx.org use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

edx.org's social description reads: "Find the online learning path for you, delivered by world-class institutions like Harvard, Google, Amazon, and more." (116 characters).

Question 5

What site name does edx.org display on social cards?

Accepted Answer

edx.org sets `og:site_name` to "edX". This appears as a small attribution label on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack.

Question 6

What's the biggest issue with edx.org's Slack preview?

Accepted Answer

No social share image found. Without an image, your shared links get significantly fewer clicks. Posts with images receive 2-3x more engagement.

Question 7

How can I improve edx.org's social previews?

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`.
