Open Graph metadata

# og:image:url

An alias of og:image. It provides the URL of an image that represents the object.

## Code examples

Good example

```
<meta property="og:image:url" content="https://example.com/path/to/image.jpg">
```

An absolute URL to the image resource.

Avoid this example

```
<meta property="og:image:url" content="/path/to/image.jpg">
```

Use an absolute URL so every consumer resolves the same resource.

Avoid this example

```
<meta property="og:image:url" content="file:///home/user/image.jpg">
```

A local file URL cannot be fetched from the web.

## Recommendations

- 01 Use an Absolute URL Choose a public image URL that consumers can fetch without cookies or authentication.
- 02 Keep Details Together Put type, width, height, and alt properties immediately after this URL.
- 03 Use a Stable URL Avoid short-lived signed URLs that may expire before a consumer fetches the page.
