X (Twitter) Card tags

Checks if X (Twitter) Card meta tags are correctly configured.

Why does this matter?

X (Twitter) Card tags determine how your page looks when shared on X (formerly Twitter). Without them, X only shows a plain link without a preview. The technical tag names still start with twitter: - that remains the official standard, even for X.

How to fix it?

Add twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description and twitter:image. Use summary_large_image as card type for maximum visibility. The "twitter:" name is still the technical standard.

This check scores from 0 to 100. Below 50 is a fail, 50 to 89 is a warning, 90 or above is good. After each crawl you see the score per page in your report, with a short note on what we found.
