User reviews

Social Share Preview is highly regarded by developers for its simplicity and effectiveness in previewing social media metadata, particularly on localhost. Users appreciate its reliability and better design compared to alternatives. However, some users note missing features such as 'og:description' display for Facebook and lack of Discord card preview. Additionally, there are occasional accuracy issues with LinkedIn image previews. Overall, it is a trusted tool for quickly validating social share metadata with room for minor feature improvements.
Pros
  • Allows previewing social media metadata locally, useful for developers testing on localhost.
  • Simple and easy to use interface.
  • Works reliably for most users in validating Open Graph metadata.
  • Better and more convenient than other Open Graph preview tools available.
  • Highly recommended and praised for its helpfulness and effectiveness.
Cons
  • Missing certain metadata like 'og:description' in Facebook share preview, reducing accuracy.
  • Does not support preview for Discord cards yet, which users desire.
  • Reported inaccuracy for LinkedIn image previews - the extension shows images as working but LinkedIn does not display them.
