og:description meta tag is present

og_description

Checks if the og:description meta tag is present.

What does this rule check?

The og:description tag provides the description shown in social media link previews. It should be compelling and encourage clicks.

Why is this important?

Without og:description, social platforms may show a random text excerpt from the page, which often looks unprofessional and doesn't drive engagement.

How to fix

Add an og:description meta tag with a compelling social-friendly description.

Examples

<!-- No og:description - social share shows random text -->
