Question 1

Why does edx.org's Twitter card show a small image?

Accepted Answer

edx.org sets `twitter:card` to `summary`, which renders the image as a small thumbnail. To get the large hero image format, the meta tag would need to be `<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">`.

Question 2

What Twitter card type does edx.org use?

Accepted Answer

edx.org uses the `summary` card type. This renders a small square thumbnail next to the title and description.

Question 3

Does edx.org have a social share image?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

What's the biggest issue with edx.org's Twitter / X 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 8

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` (1200×675), a clear `og:title` under 60 characters, and a 50-155 character `og:description`.
