This post explains how to add link previews to your Jekyll site using a Jekyll plugin.

Link previews are a great way to enhance the user experience on your Jekyll site by providing a visual representation of links. This can be particularly useful for blog posts, documentation, or any content that references external resources.

Jekyll Plugin Linkpreview

The jekyll-linkpreview plugin allows you to easily add link previews to your Jekyll site. It fetches metadata from the linked page and generates a preview card that includes the title, description, and an image if available
