How it works
The Plugin fetches the URL provided and extracts from HEAD of the HTML page the following META-TAGS: Title, Description & Image
Title & Description are standard HTML meta-tags fields. The image is fetched from tags for social media (og:image, twitter:image).
If image tag does not exists then it requests a webpage screenshot through API of screenshotlayer.com, most of the website has meta-tags for social media platforms. If your site does not have, consider adding og tags.
There 2 modes of usage:
- Tooltip Preview (like Pop-UP) using AJAX on link hover. It can work on specific links just using the class "superlink" or using wrapper css classes
