Plugin pages now get a proper preview image when someone shares a link on social media. You get the title, description, icon, and a few key stats in one clean 1200x630 image.

Jetpack stays installed, and on plugin pages we let it step aside for Open Graph and Twitter tags so social platforms use our image. The layout uses a small set of constants and a straightforward stats grid that holds up across different plugin titles and descriptions. The change stays focused on the plugin directory and theme meta tags, and it passes PHPUnit and PHPCS. Sample output (Gutenberg):
