Why it matters
X (Twitter) needs twitter:card to choose summary vs large image layout. Without it, card rendering is degraded or skipped.
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
- Search for `name="twitter:card"` (Twitter uses name, not property).
- Without it, X may still show a card but type defaults are inconsistent.
How to fix
Add <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"> (or summary / player / app).
Example fix:
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
