Question 1

What is x.com's Open Graph type?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Does x.com declare image dimensions?

Accepted Answer

x.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.

Question 3

What headline does x.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

x.com's social headline is "X. It’s what’s happening" (24 characters).

Question 4

What description does x.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

x.com's social description reads: "From breaking news and entertainment to sports and politics, get the full story with all the live commentary." (109 characters).

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

x.com sets `og:site_name` to "X (formerly Twitter)". This appears as a small attribution label on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

Missing twitter:card tag. Without this, Twitter may not show a preview card at all.

Question 7

How can I improve x.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`.
