Question 1

What is linkerd.io's Open Graph type?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Does linkerd.io have a social share image?

Accepted Answer

No - linkerd.io does not currently set an `og:image` or `twitter:image`. Slack will fall back to extracting an image from the page or render no preview image at all.

Question 3

What headline does linkerd.io use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

linkerd.io's social headline is "Enterprise power without enterprise complexity" (46 characters).

Question 4

What description does linkerd.io use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

linkerd.io's social description reads: "Linkerd adds critical security, observability, and reliability to your
Kubernetes stack, without code changes." (110 characters).

Question 5

What site name does linkerd.io display on social cards?

Accepted Answer

linkerd.io sets `og:site_name` to "Linkerd". This appears as a small attribution label on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack.

Question 6

What's the biggest issue with linkerd.io's Slack preview?

Accepted Answer

No social share image found. Without an image, your shared links get significantly fewer clicks. Posts with images receive 2-3x more engagement.

Question 7

How can I improve linkerd.io'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`.
