Search engines such as Google and social media such as Facebook and Twitter offer various kinds of link previews that are often only available or are greatly enhanced by a site providing special metadata, largely falling under the OpenGraph rubric.

See for example http://www.codepositive.com/articles/optimising-content-previews-drupal-8-using-opengraph

  • Ensure the new site isn't currently a downgrade over the old site by testing link previews on
  • So long as it's not, at our leisure improve the previews shown on other sites using Open Graph metadata and possibly other techniques

I've updated this to draw from the first image uploaded. Will test in the metadata checker a little later once we've given it time to take effect.
