What this is

Missing twitter:card. OGKit rule twitter-card-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:

  • missing twitter:card
  • twitter:card is missing

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

  1. Search for `name="twitter:card"` (Twitter uses name, not property).
  2. 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" />
