It comes after the Rate limiting and basic WAF plugin. This post describes what it will do, and it will be updated as it is built.</p> <p>Paste a link into Slack, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, X or iMessage, and a fetcher comes to read the page&rsquo;s Open Graph tags: a title, a description and an image for the preview card. A page without them shows up as a bare URL, or with whatever text the fetcher grabbed first, often a cookie notice. Plenty of pages lack them: old pages, app screens, documentation, files a CMS never touched.</p>
