Link preview data includes metadata like title, description, and image that
websites provide to create rich previews when shared on social media platforms.
The URL must have link preview metadata for the plugin to
display rich data. If no link preview data is available, the block will show
basic link information.
Yes, this plugin works with any theme that supports Gutenberg blocks.
The card styling is designed to work well with most themes. Future versions may
include customization options.
