Social card check

Do4U shows how a page looks when someone shares its link, and checks the tags behind the preview. You enter one address. Do4U reads the page and the start of its share image. The code collects the Open Graph tags, the Twitter/X card tags and the fallbacks (title, meta description, first image), the canonical link and the language. It reads the real format and size of the image from the file and checks it against the tags. You get a neutral preview, a table of all tags, findings with a short reason and suggested tags to copy. No AI is used, and the check is free.

Who it is for

For website owners, editors, shop owners and agencies who share pages on social networks and in messengers and want the link to show the right title, text and image.

Typical uses

  • Check a new page before you share it
  • Find out why a shared link shows no image or the wrong one
  • Check the size and aspect ratio of the share image
  • Find relative addresses and a mismatch between og:url and canonical

Example

Input

https://example.com/blog/summer-sale og:image: /img/sale.jpg (the image is 800 × 800 px), no og:image:alt, no twitter:card

Result

og:image: warning – /img/sale.jpg is not a full address; write https://example.com/img/sale.jpg. og:image: warning – 800 × 800 px (aspect ratio 1.00 : 1); wide previews will crop it. Commonly recommended: about 1.91 : 1, for example 1200 × 630 px. og:image:alt: warning – the description of the image is missing. twitter:card: warning – missing. Suggested tags: with og:image:width 800, og:image:height 800 and twitter:card summary.

Questions and answers

Does the social card check use AI?

No. Do4U reads the page and the start of the share image, and the code checks the tags. The check is free; there is a daily limit of checks per account.

Why does the preview not look exactly like on a social network?

The preview is a neutral sketch. Each platform has its own design, cuts texts at its own length and keeps previews in a cache for a while. Do4U shows what the page tells the platforms.

Which size should a share image have?

For large previews, 1200 × 630 px with an aspect ratio of about 1.91 : 1 is commonly recommended. Do4U reads the real size from the image file and compares it with og:image:width and og:image:height.

Is my text stored?

Only as long as needed: 7 days on Free, 30 days with a package – or not at all if you choose not to store it. Processing happens on our own servers in the EU (Poland).

Can I use the result right away?
