FastOG — Dynamic Social Cards & Link Previews for WooCommerce

Description

Fix ugly, cropped product previews on WhatsApp, iMessage and LinkedIn.

A shared link with no card is a link nobody clicks — and the card most stores get is
worse than none: a stretched logo, a badly cropped product photo, or an empty grey
box. When someone shares your store on WhatsApp, iMessage, LinkedIn, Facebook,
X (Twitter), Slack or Telegram, that platform has to pick an image for the post.
Your theme gives it one, and your SEO plugin gives it the same one for every product.

FastOG gives every share a designed card built from that page’s real content, the
moment the link is shared:

• Automatic live prices and sale badges on social shares. Product covers draw the
  price from your catalogue, so the number in the preview is the number on the page —
  including a sale badge when the product is discounted.

• A designed card per page type, not one image reused everywhere:

  • Product pages — product photo, name, live price and sale badge.
  • Product categories — the category image and title.
  • Shop / front page — your brand and tagline.
  • Blog posts — title, excerpt and featured image.

• Zero server load — 100% offloaded rendering. Covers are rendered and cached by
  FastOG and og:image points at that cache. Your host never runs a headless browser,
  never stores a generated image, and never eats the bandwidth of a social crawl.
  Nothing to manage, and nothing to re-export when a price changes.

What you get

• No manual design work. No Photoshop, no Canva, no designer backlog. Pick a
  starting look in FastOG Studio and covers build themselves from your catalogue.
• Prices that stay current. Cards come from live product data, so a price change or
  a new sale badge appears on the next share — not on a stale image cached months ago.
• Covers that never go stale. A cover’s URL contains the settings that produced it,
  so editing a cover produces a new URL and social platforms fetch the new image instead
  of showing the old one. No cache-busting hacks, no “scrape again” instructions.
• The Facebook preview refreshes itself. Every platform caches link previews, and
  Facebook keeps its copy until something tells it the page changed — which is why an
  edited cover commonly shows up on Facebook as the old image for weeks. FastOG tells
  it. Saving a product asks Facebook to re-scrape that page, so the new card goes live
  without you opening the Sharing Debugger.
• What we cannot refresh, we say out loud. Facebook is the only platform that lets
  anyone ask for a refresh. On WhatsApp, LinkedIn, X and the rest we can only make sure
  the correct image is waiting for their next read — when they take it is their
  schedule, not ours. We would rather tell you that than sell you a promise we cannot
  keep.
• No GD, no font uploads, no rewrite endpoints. Because we render, your server needs
  no image library, no fonts to install and no /social-image.jpg endpoint that 404s —
  the failure modes that make self-hosted image plugins collapse on ordinary hosting.
• Plays nice with your SEO plugin. If Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO or SEOPress
  is active, FastOG hands its cover to that plugin instead of printing a competing tag
  that social crawlers might ignore. One image, one set of tags, no conflict.
• Works with or without WooCommerce. WordPress alone gets front page and blog post
  covers. Add WooCommerce and product, category and shop pages get theirs too.
• No free riders. Every FastOG plan is paid — there is no free tier — so the render
  capacity and bandwidth your covers depend on serve stores that pay for them, not a
  queue of free accounts. What you pay for is a service that is fast, reliable and
  dedicated to its customers, and that is the only way we can promise it.
• Served from our infrastructure, not yours. Renders happen on our own render
  service and are delivered from our own cache and edge, never from your hosting and
  never through a third-party image CDN you have to wire up and monitor. We own the
  serving path, the bandwidth and the uptime; your site only signs a URL.

Which pages get a cover

The four page types above. Every other URL — pages, tags, date and author archives,
custom post types — is left exactly as it was, so your theme or SEO plugin keeps
control of it. FastOG only touches the shares that benefit from a designed card.
