## FAQ

### What is link preview data?

Link preview data includes metadata like title, description, and image that
 websites
provide to create rich previews when shared on social media platforms.

### Does this work with any URL?

The URL must have [link preview metadata](https://ogp.me/) for the plugin to
 display
rich data. If no link preview data is available, the block will show basic link 
information.

### Is this compatible with my theme?

Yes, this plugin works with any theme that supports Gutenberg blocks.

### Can I customize the card appearance?

The card styling is designed to work well with most themes. Future versions may

include customization options.
