Twitter Cards

Quick Definition

Twitter Cards (now X Cards) are meta tags that control how URLs preview when shared on Twitter/X.

In context

Twitter Cards inherit from Open Graph tags by default; set them explicitly only when you need different content for Twitter than other platforms. Use 'summary_large_image' card type for most blog content.
