Discord link preview: tags, image size and cache refresh

Crawler: Discordbot/2.0

Discord builds embeds from og:title, og:description, og:image and og:site_name. Add <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"> to get a large image instead of a thumbnail.

Embed colour

The coloured bar on the left comes from <meta name="theme-color" content="#2457d6">.

Refreshing

Discord caches embeds. Use a variant URL to force a refresh.

Minimum tags that work everywhere

<meta property="og:title" content="Page title">
<meta property="og:description" content="One or two sentences.">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/og/page.png">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://example.com/page">
<meta property="og:type" content="website">
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">

Paste your URL into the previewer to see an approximate Discord card and a list of problems.
