Social

How your pages look when someone shares a link to them. Read the “Would render blank” tile first: those pages share as a plain grey box.

How to get there#

Explore → Social.

  1. 1

    Open Social in the sidebar

    Just after Schema.

  2. 2

    Press a tile or a card row to narrow the Table

    This is how you get from “3 would render blank” to the three URLs.

app.pixyscan.com/w/…/s/…/social

The Social screen's Overview: four stat tiles for would render blank, missing image, missing type and incomplete cards, then a How these pages would share card and a Tags the scan counted card.
The Overview tab: the left card shows what would happen, the right card shows which tag causes it.

The four tiles#

Most serious first, left to right.

FieldExampleWhat it does
Would render blank3 of 71No usable title, description or image, so the link shares as a bare URL. This is the one to fix first.
Missing image3 of 71A card with no picture. It still works, but it shares small and grey.
Missing type21 of 71No og:type, so the platform has to guess what kind of page it is.
Incomplete cards71 of 71Any page missing one or more tags. This is usually a high number, and rarely urgent.

The two cards#

What would happen, and which tag causes it.

FieldRowsWhat it does
How these pages would shareSeven statesWould render blank, missing image, missing type, missing dimensions, missing alt, missing title or description, and fully tagged. Each page is counted once, under its worst problem.
Tags the scan countedPer tagOne row per missing tag, with the pages affected. Where a fallback exists, such as twitter:image falling back to og:image, the row says so.

Missing dimensions is usually harmless

og:image:width and og:image:height let a platform reserve space before the image loads. Without them the card still looks right, it just flickers. Fix the blank cards first.

The Table tab lists every page with its tags. Each row opens that page's report, where the Social tab previews the card as Facebook and X would show it.
