Link Previews

Link preview content covers how the image, headline, and description card actually gets built when a link is shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, and similar platforms — and why that card sometimes shows the wrong thing entirely. This is closely tied to Open Graph meta tags, since the preview card is generated from the destination page's own markup rather than from the RSS feed or the automation tool posting the link. Expect practical troubleshooting: how to diagnose a broken preview, force platforms to re-fetch a corrected page, and set up tags correctly the first time. A recurring cause is a page that publishes before its image is in place, which locks the wrong preview into the platform's cache. The fix is usually to correct the markup and then force a re-fetch, rather than to delete and repost. None of it is controlled by the feed, which is why this sits next to the Open Graph tag rather than under feed formatting.
