Question 1

Does loc.gov declare an og:type?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Does loc.gov have a social share image?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

What headline does loc.gov use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

loc.gov's social headline is "Just a moment..." (16 characters).

Question 4

What's the biggest issue with loc.gov's LinkedIn 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 5

How can I improve loc.gov'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` (1200×627), a clear `og:title` under 60 characters, and a 50-155 character `og:description`.
