What this is

Missing og:title. OGKit rule og-title-missing (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:

  • Required tag og:title is missing
  • missing og:title
  • no og:title

Why it matters

Most platforms use og:title as the card headline. Without it they fall back to <title> or the bare URL, which looks unprofessional in feeds.

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. Open the page and View Source (not DevTools Elements after load).
  2. Search for `property="og:title"`. If absent or content is empty, this rule fires.
  3. Confirm with: `curl -sL URL | grep -i og:title`

How to fix

Add a dedicated share title with <meta property="og:title" content="...">. Prefer a concise, human headline rather than a SEO keyword string.

Example fix:

<meta property="og:title" content="Your share headline" />
