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.

Question 3

What headline does gladwell.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

gladwell.com's social headline is "Malcolm Gladwell - The American Way of Killing" (46 characters).

Question 4

What description does gladwell.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

gladwell.com's social description reads: "The American Way of Killing goes on sale September 29th and is a provocative investigation into America's deadliest epidemic." (125 characters).

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Image won't fit social cards (1080×1350, 0.8:1). Your portrait image will be cropped to 1.91:1 on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack, and to 2:1 on Twitter. Use 1200×630 (universal) or 1200×675 (Twitter-optimized) for predictable rendering.

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`.
