Question 1

What is linode.com's Open Graph type?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

linode.com's `og:image` is 400×300 pixels. Slack recommends 800×418 (1.91:1 aspect).

Question 3

What headline does linode.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

linode.com's social headline is "The World's Most Distributed Cloud Computing Platform | Akamai" (62 characters).

Question 4

What description does linode.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

linode.com's social description reads: "Build and deliver low-latency, edge native applications on Akamai Connected Cloud." (82 characters).

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

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

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

Image won't fit social cards (400×300, 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 7

How can I improve linode.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`.
