Opengraph tags should have been HTTP HEAD tags, not HTML meta tags.

Hello

Gm

I like HEAD as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure about that.

Lol

Everyone is too scared of reverse proxies fucking with http headers.

Can't reverse proxies change the metatags as well? 🤔

no one thought about that because they didn't even consider the idea

is that a new tennis racket model?

I shouldn't need to download the full page and parse the meta tags put just to see what it is about. The HEAD command was made to transfer info without having to download the full page.

That make sense. What would be the diffenrence to have the meta in https ?

Let's say, in a search results you get only the meta info, not the hole page. If you visit the page you don't see the meta section actually. I think HTML also helps for SERP as is way spiders can read and filter.

They had to download it anyway
