Question 1

What are the Twitter card types?

Accepted Answer

"summary" shows a small square thumbnail with title and description. "summary_large_image" shows a large image above the title — best for articles and blog posts. "app" is for mobile apps. "player" is for video/audio embeds.

Question 2

Do I need to validate my Twitter card?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you can use the Twitter Card Validator (cards-dev.twitter.com/validator) to preview and validate your cards once your site is live. The first time a URL is shared, Twitter fetches and caches the card.
