Question 1

Does nytimes.com have a Twitter card configured?

Accepted Answer

No - nytimes.com does not set a `twitter:card` meta tag. Twitter may not render any preview at all, or may try to fall back to Open Graph tags.

Question 2

What Twitter handle does nytimes.com associate with shared cards?

Accepted Answer

nytimes.com sets `twitter:site` to `@nytimes`. This handle is shown as attribution next to the card on Twitter.

Question 3

Does nytimes.com declare image dimensions?

Accepted Answer

nytimes.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.

What headline does nytimes.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

nytimes.com's social headline is "The New York Times - Breaking News, US News, World News and Videos" (66 characters).

Question 5
