twitter:label2

Learn how to use the twitter:label2 meta tag to improve your site.

Defines the label for the second data point displayed in a Twitter Card, often used alongside "twitter:data2" to provide additional context or information.

Code Examples

<meta name="twitter:label2" content="Location" />
Use "Location" as "twitter:label2" with a corresponding "twitter:data2" value like "San Francisco, CA" to specify the location relevant to the Twitter Card content.
<meta name="twitter:label2" content="Event Date" />
If providing event information, using "Event Date" as "twitter:label2" with "twitter:data2" indicating the actual date (e.g., "May 25, 2023") offers clear, additional details about the event.
<meta name="twitter:label2" content="This is a very long and detailed description that is likely going to be truncated." />
Using overly long labels can be confusing or misleading due to truncation; they should be avoided to ensure clarity.
<meta name="twitter:label2" content="" />
Leaving "twitter:label2" empty while defining "twitter:data2" misses an opportunity to provide context, making the data less impactful.

Recommendations

  • Maximum Length Consideration
    Keep the label concise to avoid truncation. Twitter doesn’t officially specify a max length, but staying under 50 characters prevents most issues.
  • Complementary Data
    Ensure that "twitter:label2" is contextually relevant to "twitter:data2". The label should effectively describe or qualify the data following it for clarity.
