🐦 Twitter Card Generator for WordPress

Twitter Cards are meta tags you add to your webpage's <head> section that control how your content appears when someone shares a link on Twitter (now X). Without them, shared links may show as plain URLs with no preview.

By adding Twitter Card tags, you get a rich preview with a title, description, and image — which can dramatically increase engagement and click-through rates on shared links.

The summary card displays a small square thumbnail (120×120px minimum) next to the title and description. It's great for articles, blog posts, and general web pages.

The summary_large_image card features a large, prominent image (at least 300×157px) above the title and description. This format works best when you have a compelling hero image, infographic, or product photo that you want to showcase.

Yes! Twitter will fall back to Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image) if the equivalent Twitter Card tags are not present. However, having dedicated Twitter Card tags gives you more control over your Twitter-specific appearance.

The twitter:card tag is always required — without it, Twitter won't render any card at all, even if you have OG tags. We recommend using both OG and Twitter tags for maximum compatibility across all social platforms.

After adding the meta tags to your page, you can test them using the Twitter Card Validator tool. Simply enter your URL and it will show you a preview of how the card will appear when shared.

Note that Twitter caches card data aggressively. If you update your tags, you may need to use the validator to force a refresh, or wait for the cache to expire (usually a few days).
