On Twitter, I can't show an image card when tweeting my website https://startcrowd.club But it works perfectly on Facebook.

I want to show this card: http://startcrowd.club/images/startcrowdimage.jpg

I tried https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator and I got:

INFO: Page fetched successfully
INFO: 9 metatags were found
ERROR: No card found (Card error)

The relevant metatags on my page https://startcrowd.club/index.html are:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<meta property="og:image" content="images/startcrowdimage.jpg">

The documentation I followed is:

Ensure that the og:type tag is set. On Facebook it is not required, Facebook will use website as the og:type if it is not found. That is why it worked fine on Facebook.

By adding <meta property="og:type" content="website"> if the twitter:card property is not set, twitter will use summary.

So just add <meta property="og:type" content="website"> and I think it will work fine.

PS: I also had the same issue but when I added <meta property="og:type" content="website"> it worked for me.
