External services
This plugin connects to the ogCover API (https://ogcover.io) to generate Open Graph images.

- title
- excerpt/content snippet
- author name
- publication date
- category and tag names
- estimated reading time
- site name and tagline
- featured/content image URL
No data is sent unless image generation is explicitly triggered. Generated image files are stored in your WordPress uploads directory.
