seo/og-description · Open Graph description

Every route should include an og:description.

Severity: info

What it checks

Every route should include a <meta property="og:description"> tag (own or inherited). A missing or empty tag is reported as an informational finding.

Why it matters

og:description is the summary shown under the title in social previews; without one, platforms guess or show nothing, lowering click-through.

The Open Graph protocol lists og:description under Optional Metadata, unlike og:url, which it lists as Basic and required (see seo/og-url), so the severity follows the spec’s own required/optional split.

How to fix

<svelte:head>
  <meta property="og:description" content="A concise page summary." />
</svelte:head>

Mode differences

Source analysis (the CLI, the dashboard’s static baseline) composes each route’s <head> from <svelte:head> in the page and its layout chain, followed into repo-local components, plus the known meta components (svelte-meta-tags, svelte-seo) and any you declare in metaComponents. A value it cannot read literally ({data.title}) is dynamic, judged by treatDynamicAs. Rendered analysis (the Vite plugin’s build pass, a route you visit in the dashboard) reads the shipped <head>, where every value is literal and treatDynamicAs does not apply; the build pass covers prerendered routes only. When the two disagree, trust the rendered result.

Disabling

Record existing findings in the suppressions file (npx svelte-vitals --update-suppressions), scope the rule per route or path with overrides, or turn it off:

export default {
  rules: {
    'seo/og-description': 'off'
  }
};
