Implementing OGP and RSS in Next.js
How to ship dynamic OGP images and a clean RSS feed early in a Next.js App Router blog project.
OGP strategy
Define an opengraph-image route per post and render image metadata from the article frontmatter.
Why dynamic images work well
- No manual image editing for every post
- Consistent visual branding
- Locale-aware text rendering is straightforward
RSS strategy
Generate /rss.xml from published posts only, with stable item URLs.
Required RSS fields
- title
- link / guid
- description
- pubDate
Common pitfall
Do not include draft: true posts in the feed; otherwise unpublished content leaks into subscribers.
