type.missing

og:type is missing. Level: Warning.

When it is raised

Raised when, in the first 300,000 characters of the HTML, outside comments, the page has no og:type tag with non-empty content. Only the first og:type tag that has a content attribute is read; if its content is empty or whitespace, that tag counts as absent even when a later og:type has a value. Any non-empty value passes.

What it does to a shared link

The page does not declare what kind of object it is to Open Graph readers. The Open Graph protocol (ogp.me) lists og:type among its required properties.

How to fix it

  1. Add an og:type tag to the <head>.
  2. Use "website" for a home or general page and "article" for a post or story.
<meta property="og:type" content="website">
