Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

A link shared with no image gets ignored. This plugin shows you, before anyone shares it, exactly what Facebook, LinkedIn, X and WhatsApp will display for a page, and tells you what is missing.

It does not generate Open Graph tags: it checks the ones your site already outputs, whoever put them there. It reads the published page the way a social network does, so it does not care how the page was built: block editor, classic editor, Bricks, Elementor, Divi, a custom theme, Yoast, Rank Math, or nothing at all. If the tags are in the output, it sees them.

Where you find it

  • In the admin bar, on any page of your site and on any edit screen, so it works inside page builders too.
  • As a panel in the post editor sidebar.
  • Under Tools > Social previews, to check the latest published content in one table.

What it checks

  • Preview image: missing, relative path, or served over http.
  • Title: missing or too long for the platforms to show in full.
  • Description: missing, too short, too long, or only inherited from the meta description.
  • Twitter card.
  • Alt text for the preview image.
  • Tags printed twice by the theme and the SEO plugin together, naming which ones.
  • Your site name repeated at the end of the title, where the platform already shows the domain.
