What are the essential Open Graph meta tags required?

The four required Open Graph tags are: og:title (title of the object), og:type (e.g. website, article), og:image (preview image URL), and og:url (canonical URL of the page).

What is the optimal size for an og:image?

The optimal dimension for og:image is 1200 x 630 pixels (1.91:1 ratio). This guarantees sharp, high-resolution rendering on high-DPI smartphone displays and desktop feeds.

How do I refresh social previews if an old image is cached?

Use the official platform debuggers (Facebook Sharing Debugger, LinkedIn Post Inspector) to clear their cache and re-scrape your updated Open Graph tags. X no longer offers a card preview in its Card Validator.
