twitter:site

Attributes the website or publication to an X account using its @handle. The metadata name retains the twitter: prefix.

Code examples

Good example
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@exampleUser">
A site handle with the required @ prefix.
Avoid this example
<meta name="twitter:site" content="exampleUser">
Missing the @ prefix used by this field.
Avoid this example
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@exampleUser1 @exampleUser2">
The field accepts one account handle, not a space-separated list.

Recommendations

  • 01
    Include the @ Symbol
    Write the account handle exactly as it appears on X, including the leading @.
  • 02
    Credit the Publication
    Use twitter:creator separately when an individual author or maker also needs credit.
