Question 1

What is kotaku.com's Open Graph type?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

What size is kotaku.com's social share image?

Accepted Answer

kotaku.com's `og:image` is 1200×900 pixels. Slack recommends 800×418 (1.91:1 aspect).

Question 3

What headline does kotaku.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

kotaku.com's social headline is "Kotaku - Gaming Reviews, News, Tips and More." (45 characters).

Question 4

What site name does kotaku.com display on social cards?

Accepted Answer

kotaku.com sets `og:site_name` to "Kotaku". This appears as a small attribution label on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Image won't fit social cards (1200×900, 1.33:1). 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 kotaku.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`.
