What this is

og:image is not HTTPS. OGKit rule og-image-not-https (error). 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:

  • og:image is not HTTPS
  • og:image uses HTTP
  • mixed content og:image

Why it matters

Modern platforms refuse or downgrade non-HTTPS images. Mixed content also breaks some previews.

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. Confirm og:image uses `http://` (or a non-HTTP scheme) instead of `https://`.

How to fix

Serve the share image over HTTPS and update the meta tag.

Example fix:

<meta property="og:image" content="https://cdn.example.com/og.jpg" />
