Question 1

What is gladwell.com's Open Graph type?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Does gladwell.com declare image dimensions?

Accepted Answer

gladwell.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.

gladwell.com's social headline is "Malcolm Gladwell | New York Times Bestselling Author & Podcast Host" (67 characters).

What description does gladwell.com use for social previews?

Question 6

How can I improve gladwell.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` (800×418), a clear `og:title` under 60 characters, and a 50-155 character `og:description`.
