Question 1

Does kentcdodds.com declare an og:type?

Accepted Answer

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

kentcdodds.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.

No og:title - falling back to <title> tag. Set og:title to control social sharing independently from your page title.

Question 6

How can I improve kentcdodds.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`.
