Description

Clear and concise description of the problem

It would be valuable to introduce an Open Graph inspector in Vite DevTools for development mode.

Suggested solution

This feature, inspired by Nuxt DevTools, would allow developers to:

Preview Open Graph metadata (title, description, image, etc.)
Quickly debug incorrect or missing tags
See how pages will appear when shared on social platforms

Since this is not framework-specific, it would be a great addition to Vite DevTools and improve the debugging experience for any Vite-based project.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the referenced Nuxt DevTools implementation at packages/devtools/client/pages/modules/open-graph.vue, then locate the corresponding Vite DevTools entry point for a new inspector. Done means development mode can preview title, description, and image metadata, identify missing or incorrect tags, and show the expected social-sharing appearance.
