Optimizing how your links display when shared on X (formerly Twitter) is an essential part of social media and SEO strategy. Solann's free Twitter Card Validator tool helps you preview and validate your meta tags with ease.
Our tool analyzes your URL to ensure Twitter Card tags are correctly implemented, helping you increase click-through rates and engagement. By simulating how Twitterbot crawls your webpage, the tool provides an accurate preview and detailed report of potential issues.
Sharing a link without an attractive image or title can significantly reduce the effectiveness of your post. Use our validator to ensure every link you share is perfectly optimized to attract attention.
Key Features of the Twitter Card Validator Tool
Visual Preview
See exactly how your card will look when posted on Twitter, including card types like "summary" and "summary_large_image". This helps you adjust images and text for maximum impact.
Comprehensive Analysis
The tool not only checks twitter: tags but also identifies Open Graph tags used as fallbacks. You can also check Facebook Open Graph separately to optimize for that platform.
Error and Warning Detection
Automatically identifies serious issues such as missing required tags or invalid image URLs. The tool also provides warnings about title and description length, helping you avoid truncated content. You can use our meta title checker tool to optimize length.
Optimization Suggestions
Receive useful recommendations to improve your tags, such as adding optional tags like twitter:site or twitter:creator to enhance brand recognition.
Image Analysis
The tool checks whether your image is accessible, and if the file size and format are appropriate. If your image is too large, you can use our image compression tool to optimize it.
HTTP Status Check
The validator also checks and reports the HTTP status code of the URL, ensuring that bots can access your page. For bulk checking, use our dedicated status code checker tool.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a Twitter Card?
A Twitter Card is a set of meta tags you can add to your website's HTML. When someone shares your URL on X (Twitter), these tags allow you to attach rich photos, videos, and descriptions to Tweets, making your content stand out.
How do I add Twitter Cards to my website?
You need to add meta tags with the twitter: prefix to the <head> section of your HTML page. Basic tags include twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, and twitter:image. You can use our meta tags generator to do this quickly.
Why isn't Twitter displaying my image?
There are several reasons, including incorrect image URL, file too large (over 5MB), unsupported format, or your robots.txt file blocking Twitterbot. Our tool will help you identify the exact cause.
What's the difference between summary and summary_large_image tags?
The summary tag displays a small square thumbnail image alongside the title and description. Meanwhile, the summary_large_image tag is more prominent with a large, full-width image above the text, typically resulting in higher engagement rates.
