X (Twitter) or LinkedIn shows a plain link with no card

What you may see

The post shows only the address

Most likely cause

These apps look for their own card tags (or fall back to Open Graph), and cache the result.

Check first (about two minutes)

Check the page for twitter:card and og tags.

The fix prompt

What you type here never leaves your browser. The search runs on this page, and nothing is sent to a server or to an AI.

The exact error or what you see

What you did before it happened

Kept only in this browser, on this device. Keys and passwords are removed before anything is saved.

Prompt language

You are a senior engineer who knows search engines and link previews (Open Graph) and explains them to people who are not developers. I am not a developer, so explain every step in plain words and tell me exactly which button, menu or command you mean. If you are not sure about something, say so; do not guess.

THE PROBLEM
X (Twitter) or LinkedIn shows a plain link with no card

THE EXACT ERROR OR WHAT I SEE
[paste the exact error here]

WHAT I DID BEFORE IT HAPPENED
[write in a few words what you did before it happened]

MOST LIKELY CAUSE
These apps look for their own card tags (or fall back to Open Graph), and cache the result.

DO THESE STEPS, IN THIS ORDER
1. Add twitter:card (summary_large_image), title, description and image tags with full https addresses.
2. Tell me how to use the platforms' official preview check tools (named by what they do) to refresh.
Stop and tell me if what you see does not match a step. Do not skip ahead.

CHECK THAT IT WORKED
- A new post with the link shows the card.
Tell me exactly what I should see on the screen when it works.

DO NOT CHANGE
- Do not change the page design for this.
- Anything I did not ask about: the design, the text, other pages, other settings or the data.
- Do not delete files, data or branches, do not reset or force-push, and do not rewrite history, unless you first show me exactly what would be lost and I say yes.
- Do not paste, print or ask me to paste a password or secret key into this chat. If one is needed, tell me which settings page of the right service to store it in.

WHEN YOU FINISH
Explain in simple words what you changed (file by file or setting by setting), why you changed it, and how I can undo it.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor, then follow what it says.

After you tried it, did it work?
