Optimal Titles are different lengths for different use cases for FB and Twitter ideally you want a call to action shorter title as compared to a longer optimise

  It still begs the question: What about the—in my experience—more common use case where they are the same (i.e. current title and description is sufficient for social shares)? Here is an example of a discord server refusing the expand the site description and title on one of my sites[1], just because there is no og:title and og:description (even though I provide both <title> and <meta name="description">). All I can take from this is either: a) Social media companies are bad at (or don’t care about) implementing common sense features, or b) Facebook is actively and aggressively pushing their own proprietary format over established standards. In either case it is bad. 1: https://forums.online-go.com/t/random-starting-position-flexible-komi/35771/19?u=runarberg https://forums.online-go.com/t/random-starting-position-flex...

    "og:title" falls back to <title>. My <title> tags include the title of the website _and_ the title of the page. I put _just_ the page title in "og:title". "og:image" has no standard alternative. The rest are usually not needed. og:description falls back to meta description just fine.
