Answer first
What the issue means
The scanner did not find a reachable og:image for one or more sampled pages, or the image URL was relative, blocked, or mismatched.
Detail 01
Exact fix
Generate a production preview image, publish it under a stable HTTPS URL, and add route-specific og:image and twitter:image tags.
Detail 02
Verify
Open the image URL directly, check dimensions near 1200 by 630, then re-scan the page and test major preview debuggers.
FAQ
Common questions
- Can one OG image be reused?
- Yes for small sites, but product, pricing, docs, and article pages usually perform better with route-specific preview images.
- Does the image need alt text?
- Open Graph images do not use normal img alt text, but the visible page should still include accessible image alternatives where images appear.
