opengraph VS next-seo

og:*: specified by the Open Graph Protocol for social media links rendering that determine their title, description, and images when you share them on social media or chat software such as Twitter(X), Discord, etc.

OpenGraph probably.

Since Netlify introduced Edge Functions we've had an ideal way to add a tiny bit of logic into our link shortener which will return a page template of our own to anything looking to unfurl the URL to display its opengraph image.

Recoil Gunworks doesn't have an Open Graph image tag defined in their product pages, so Reddit chooses something at random to use for a preview thumbnail. Neither OP nor the mods can do anything about it.

The idea behind the Semantic Web is, if anything, the exact opposite. Yes, it's still about meaning, in the end. But in this case, it's about the authors of content (mostly webpage developers) intentionally making their content more machine-discoverable, providing links and markup and metadata that computers can read without having to do finicky and error-prone extraction. Most major sites use some features of this! As an example, if you paste this page's URL into Discord, you'll get a fancy popup box with a little snippet of the text and maybe an icon, and this is through a Facebook-developed Semantic Web extension called OpenGraph.

The third one is Schema.org JSON-LD. I actually question the usefulness of this feature, but if it is relatively easy to implement without a glaring downside, just give it a shot I guess? In Next.js, there is next-seo package that greatly simplifies the implementation of Schema.org JSON-LD.

Next SEO

Next Seo GitHub Repository

I would recommend checking out https://github.com/garmeeh/next-seo. It does SEO for you. Additionally, going to recommend precisely what u/saarnav mentioned. https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/functions/edge-functions/og-image-generation

Any opinions on https://github.com/garmeeh/next-seo ?

To simplify this, we can use a package called next-seo. Next SEO makes managing SEO easier in your Next.js projects.

For SEO there is next-seo.

Meta tags exist in the head element of the page providing important information about the page that can used by search engines and social media sites. There are a variety of meta tags that represent different types of information for different search engines. A popular subset of standardized meta tags are described in the open graph protocol. Managing these tags for every page and generating them dynamically for blog pages has it’s own overhead. Thus for that reason, I have used the Next-SEO plugin. The Next-SEO plugin provides DefaultSEO component that contains tags that will be defined for all routes by default which subsequently can be overwritten at a page level by then using the NextSEO component. Below is the default SEO config used by me.

I have also used this package to make the SEO tag section easier to manage: https://github.com/garmeeh/next-seo

We will have to populate SEO-related meta tags with the relevant information for each page. To do so, we will use garmeeh/next-seo.
