OG Image Self-Hosted
Checks that og:image is hosted on your domain, not a third-party CDN.
What this check measures
We compare the og:image URL origin to the site origin. Third-party-hosted images can disappear, add latency to the preview scrape, and dilute brand signal.
Why it matters
When the third-party image host goes down or changes URLs, your link previews break everywhere: LinkedIn, Slack, archived tweets. Self-hosting ensures durability.
How our audit detects it
Parse og:image URL, compare to site domain.
Typical findings
- error_outlineog:image hosted on imgur.com or a stale CMS CDN.
- error_outlineog:image on a different domain owned by the same company.
How to fix
Copy the OG image to /public on your primary domain, update the og:image URL. Use per-page dynamic generation (Next.js ImageResponse) for scalable self-hosting.
