Metatags - Edge case: nothing detected on some websites

Open pablobarrera opened this issue 10 months ago • 3 comments

Hi, I have been using the metatags api to generate link previews and I found this edge case:

Nothing detected: Link: https://www.fastcompany.com/90970396/how-asking-the-right-3-questions-can-inspire-great-leadership

Metatags don't detect anything: Screen Shot 2023-10-24 at 11 54 47

LinkPreview.net detects properly: Screen Shot 2023-10-24 at 11 55 10

And the following cases don't work on both Metatags and LinkPreview.net, I'm not sure if something could be done:

I leave two more cases, if you want I could create another issue for these.

And for the following one, neither WhatsApp nor LinkPreview.net generates a preview so I'm not sure if something could be done:
