Why link previews matter
When you share a link on WhatsApp, Facebook, or X, the platform doesn't
just show the raw URL — it fetches your page and builds a preview card from
Open Graph (og:*) and Twitter Card meta tags in your page's
<head>. If those tags are missing or wrong, customers see
a blank grey box, the wrong title, or a stretched, badly cropped image —
and in India, where WhatsApp is often the FIRST place a customer sees your
link (shared in a group, forwarded by a friend, sent in a business chat), a
broken preview can cost you the click before anyone even visits your site.
This free checker fetches your page the way WhatsApp itself does — using
a WhatsApp-like crawler — and shows you exactly what title, description,
and image it finds, rendered as pixel-styled preview cards for WhatsApp,
Facebook, and X side by side. We also check your og:image's
real dimensions and file size, since WhatsApp only shows the large,
full-width image card when the image is at least 300×200 pixels and under
600KB — smaller or heavier images silently fall back to a small thumbnail.
What WhatsApp, Facebook, and X actually look for
All three platforms check og:title, og:description,
and og:image first, falling back to twitter:title/
twitter:description/twitter:image, and finally to
your plain <title> tag and meta description if neither
exists. If none of these are set, most platforms show your bare URL with no
preview at all — the least clickable option of the three.
Fixing what this tool finds
Any tag this checker marks "missing" can be added in seconds with BizGo's free Meta Tag Generator — every missing row above links straight to it. A BizGo business page comes with a properly configured preview image and description out of the box, so every link you share — on WhatsApp, in a Google Business Profile post, or in an ad — looks trustworthy and complete from the very first share. Once your preview looks right, also make sure the page itself is trustworthy — run it through the SSL Checker to confirm HTTPS is set up correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Either your page is missing an og:image tag, or the image doesn't meet WhatsApp's minimum requirements (300×200 pixels or larger, and under 600KB). This checker tells you which.
It fetches your page using a WhatsApp-like crawler and reads the same og:/twitter: tags WhatsApp reads, so the preview is a close, pixel-styled replica — always double check by actually sending the link once to be sure, since platforms occasionally change their exact card layout.

WhatsApp is often the first place an Indian customer sees a shared business link — a broken or blank preview looks untrustworthy and gets ignored, while a clean preview with your logo/photo and a clear description earns the click.
Every missing tag in the results table links directly to BizGo's free Meta Tag Generator, which builds a complete, copy-paste <head> block for you.
