Meta tags enable search engines, social networks, and messaging services get the required information from your website and display it in a visual way instead of just a plain old link. Hey Meta helps you generate those meta tags by editing your existing ones or writing new ones which you generate and easily place on your website.
Hey Hunters 😽
I'd like to introduce my recent web project, Hey Meta 🎉
I basically made this because I didn't find a tool (other than Facebook Developer Tools and Twitter Card Validator), that would show me how my website would look like after I've shared it to social media and searching for it on Google. While there were some tools that would show me the meta tags from my website, I needed something visual and a way to see changes in real time
There's still stuff I have to work on (and fix), but I wanted to put it out there for you to use. Let me know if you find any issues or if you found it useful to you 😉
Cheers,
Igor ✌️
@philreinking on Hey Meta it's instantly, but Facebook, Twitter, and Google might take a post or share for them to refresh, but usually, that's pretty quick 😉
The plan is to integrate "sending" the refresh request to those sites from Hey Meta, but I still have to figure how to do that 🤔
If you want to refresh it on their servers manually, you can do it here:
Twitter: https://cards-dev.twitter.com/va...
Facebook: https://developers.facebook.com/...
Google: https://search.google.com/struct...
I always find tools like this to be very helpful and in my opinion this is a really nice implementation. Can I ask... what's the ideal image size for an image? I notice that the one image is used to supply three different meta tags. Is there a standard size (genuinely don't know about this stuff).
@mickc79 while there is no standard size for the images, most social websites use the ratio around 2:1. Facebook, for example, recommends images bigger than 600x315px, while Twitter's minimum requirement is 300x157px. So if your image is 600px or wider, with the ratio around 2:1, you should be good on most platforms 💪
Hey @ashu11thakur! I seem to be getting an SSL error, that's why it can't get any details from your website...I also checked with tools from Facebook and Twitter and it seems like they're getting the same response...can you maybe check if something's not right on your side? I'm not sure how to fix that from happening on Hey Meta though but will try...sorry if the tool wasn't helpful to you right now. I'll keep you posted if I come up with a solution 🙃
@ashu11thakur I've just ran your website through an SSL Server Test https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/... and there seem to be some issues with your server's certificate chain being incomplete...so maybe that's why it's not resolving with Facebook and Twitter, so it might be the same problem on my side...will inspect further but not sure I'll be able to help if it's something with your SSL certificate (not saying it definitely is though)...
