Question 1

Does ft.com have a Twitter card configured?

Accepted Answer

No - ft.com does not set a `twitter:card` meta tag. Twitter may not render any preview at all, or may try to fall back to Open Graph tags.

Question 2

What Twitter handle does ft.com associate with shared cards?

Accepted Answer

ft.com sets `twitter:site` to `@FinancialTimes`. This handle is shown as attribution next to the card on Twitter.

Question 3

Does ft.com have a social share image?

Accepted Answer

No - ft.com 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 ft.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

ft.com's social headline is "Home - Financial Times" (22 characters).

Question 5

What description does ft.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

What's the biggest issue with ft.com'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 7

How can I improve ft.com'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`.
