What this issue means
Your pages lack Open Graph (og:) and Twitter Card meta tags, so when someone shares a link, the preview has no title, description, or image — or the wrong ones.
Why it matters
Social and chat previews drive clicks. A bare or broken preview gets scrolled past; a clean card with a strong title and image earns the click. These tags do not affect rankings directly, but they shape the click-through that brings traffic and the brand impression that supports it.
How to fix it
- Add Open Graph tags:
og:title,og:description,og:image,og:url,og:type. - Add Twitter Card tags (
twitter:card, etc.) or let them fall back to Open Graph. - Use a 1200×630 image for crisp previews.
- In WordPress, RankMath or Yoast generate these automatically — check they are enabled and that a default share image is set.
- Validate with each platform's debugger.
