What this is

Missing og:description. OGKit rule og-description-missing (warning). The id is a public API for the docs URL and CI --disable key; do not rename it.

Search phrases that should land on this page:

  • Recommended tag og:description is missing
  • missing og:description

Why it matters

Without og:description, platforms fall back to meta description or scrape body text. Share copy becomes unpredictable.

Which platforms are affected

All OGKit platform profiles, including major social, chat, and search crawlers that consume these tags.

Platform-specific crawler budgets and field priority live in the platform behaviour reference.

How to reproduce

  1. Search the HTML for `property="og:description"`.
  2. Platforms may fall back to meta description or scraped body text.

How to fix

Write 1–2 sentences (roughly 70–200 characters) that sell the click in a feed context.

Example fix:

<meta property="og:description" content="A clear, compelling summary for social feeds." />
