Which meta tags actually matter for SEO?

The title tag and meta description. The title is a ranking factor and the headline of your search result; the description does not directly rank you but controls the snippet people read before clicking, which affects click-through rate.

Are meta keywords still useful?

No major search engine uses them for ranking, and Google ignores them entirely. The generator includes them only because some internal site-search tools still read them.

What does the Open Graph image do?

It is the image shown when your page is shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord and most messaging apps. Without og:image, platforms pick an image at random, or none. Use a 1200x630 image for best results.

Which Twitter card type should I choose?

summary_large_image for articles and landing pages with a strong visual; summary for compact cards like a profile or utility page. The large card gets noticeably more engagement on link shares.

What should the canonical URL be?

The single preferred URL of the page, absolute and including https. It tells search engines which version to index when similar content exists at multiple addresses, preventing duplicate-content issues.
