ToolsPivot's Twitter Graph Checker validates how your webpage appears when shared on Twitter/X, ensuring your links display with the correct title, description, and image. Over 500 million tweets containing links are posted daily, and poorly configured Twitter Cards result in up to 40% fewer clicks. This tool helps social media managers, developers, and content creators verify their Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags before publishing, guaranteeing maximum engagement when content is shared.
Core Functionality:
The Twitter Graph Checker fetches and analyzes the meta tags from any URL to preview exactly how that link will appear on Twitter/X. It extracts twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, and twitter:image tags along with fallback Open Graph properties. The tool validates tag presence, checks image dimensions against Twitter's requirements, and flags missing or incorrectly formatted metadata that could affect your social preview. You can also generate Open Graph tags directly if any are missing.
Primary Users & Use Cases:
Social media managers use this tool to verify campaign links before scheduling posts. Web developers implement it during site launches to confirm all pages display correctly on Twitter. Content marketers check article previews to ensure maximum click-through rates. E-commerce teams validate product page previews to drive social traffic.
Problem & Solution:
Without proper Twitter Card configuration, shared links appear as plain text URLs with no visual appeal. ToolsPivot's Twitter Graph Checker eliminates guesswork by showing exactly what users see when your link appears in their feed, helping you fix issues before they cost you traffic.
Instant Visual Preview See exactly how your link appears on Twitter before publishing, eliminating trial-and-error posting.

Twitter supports four main card types, each suited for different content. Summary Cards display a thumbnail image with title and description, ideal for articles and blog posts. Summary Card with Large Image shows a prominently featured image above the title, best for visual content. Player Cards embed audio or video that plays directly in the feed. App Cards promote mobile applications with direct download links. Most websites benefit from implementing Summary Card with Large Image for maximum visual impact. The Twitter Graph Checker identifies which card type your page is configured for and validates accordingly.
Missing meta tags represent the most frequent issue, where pages lack the required twitter:card, twitter:title, or twitter:image properties. The solution involves adding these tags to your HTML head section or configuring your CMS to generate them automatically. Broken image URLs cause blank previews even when other tags are correct. Always verify images use absolute URLs with https:// protocol. Incorrect image dimensions result in cropped or stretched previews. Use 1200x628 pixels for optimal Summary Large Image display. Character limit violations truncate your content, so keep titles under 70 and descriptions under 200 characters. Cache issues cause old previews to persist even after fixes. Request Twitter to re-crawl your page using their Card Validator or wait 7 days for automatic refresh.

What is a Twitter Graph Checker?
A Twitter Graph Checker validates the meta tags on your webpage that control how links appear when shared on Twitter/X, showing a preview of the title, description, and image.
Why doesn't my image show on Twitter?
Missing twitter:image or og:image tags, broken image URLs, images smaller than 144x144 pixels, or non-https image sources prevent images from displaying.
What's the difference between Twitter Cards and Open Graph?
Twitter Cards use twitter: prefixed tags specifically for Twitter, while Open Graph (og:) tags work across multiple platforms. Twitter falls back to OG tags if Twitter-specific tags are absent.
How do I fix a cached Twitter preview?
Share your URL on Twitter's Card Validator tool or post a Tweet with the URL. Twitter typically refreshes cached data within 7 days automatically.
What image size should I use for Twitter Cards?
Use 1200x628 pixels for Summary Card with Large Image. Minimum size is 144x144 pixels, maximum file size is 5MB. Use the Image Compressor if needed.
Can I check pages behind a login?
No, the Twitter Graph Checker can only validate publicly accessible URLs. Password-protected or authenticated pages cannot be crawled.
What Twitter Card type should I use?
Summary Card with Large Image works best for most content including articles, products, and landing pages. Use Player Card for video/audio and App Card for mobile apps.
How often should I validate Twitter Cards?
Check after any page update, CMS migration, template change, or when users report display issues. Regular validation prevents engagement loss.
Why is my description getting cut off?
Descriptions longer than 200 characters get truncated on Twitter. Keep descriptions concise and put key information in the first 150 characters.
Can I use different images for Twitter and Facebook?
Yes, use twitter:image for Twitter-specific images and og:image for other platforms. This allows optimized dimensions for each network. You can resize images appropriately for each platform.
Do I need both Twitter Cards and Open Graph tags?
Implementing both ensures maximum compatibility. Twitter uses its own tags first, then falls back to Open Graph. Other platforms only use Open Graph.
How long before Twitter shows my updated preview?
New pages display immediately. Updated pages may take up to 7 days unless you manually refresh using Twitter's validator.
