Question 1

Does graphql.org declare an og:type?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Does graphql.org declare image dimensions?

Accepted Answer

graphql.org 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 graphql.org use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

graphql.org's social headline is "GraphQL | The query language for modern APIs" (44 characters).

Question 4

What description does graphql.org use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

graphql.org's social description reads: "GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data." (104 characters).

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Image won't fit social cards (220×220, 1:1). Your square-ish 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 graphql.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`.
