# 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.
