Hey! I’m here after a lot of YESs and NOs, DOs and DONTs.
I’m using RankMath for 4 long years (on different sites for myself and my clients), but this year it made me completely mad. I’m almost fed up with it as ALL THE STATS ON MY SITE ARE ZERO NOW. I was told by RankMath in an Email (the screenshot is attached) that you should reconnect your site to Console and Analytics, I did and still, the issue persists.
Recent Email from RankMath, Received on 14 Nov, 2022:

The issue is, I do on-page SEO using RankMath and publish the post. Before the issue, it would have to take only 17 to 23 hours to appear on Google, and Now it takes at least a week or 8 days to appear. When I check the post in the Search Console, the result is INDEXED, URL IS ON GOOGLE and all other GREEN ticks but it still takes a week or so to appear in actual on Google.
The issue was there since long ago but it was boosted recently after I’ve transferred my Cpanel within the same Hosting Platform.
Also, I’ve changed my site’s Social Sharing Image in RankMath 3/4 weeks ago but when I share my URL-with-no-featured-image, the same old photo appears. I think, ‘all these shocks are linked to the same station!’
I’ve already planned to migrate to any other SEO plugin BUT I’m trying to play my last card here, if it worked would be a miracle.

Hello,
There are a few reasons for Facebook (or any other social network like WhatsApp) not picking your images and other social tags. We will list them below so you can check which one applies in your case:
1. First and foremost, you must check the page source of the URL in question. Search for the
og:imagetag like in this Video:
https://i.rankmath.com/aJCccEIf the
og:imagetag is not found, that means Rank Math is either disabled or not able to print your social tags. Once done checking if Rank Math is enabled, you must check why it isn’t able to print social content by following this troubleshooting guide:
https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/Make sure to follow all the instructions carefully.
2. Assuming the
og:imagetag was found in step 1, we can proceed to find the issue.Scenario 1: You are using minification on your website and your cache plugin is inputting too much inline CSS into your page source that your OpenGraph tags are pushed way too down your page’s source:
If this is the cache, you must move your inline CSS to a file because Facebook and other social networks will only look for OpenGraph tags in the first 60kbs of your page’s source. If they don’t find it, they will assume you haven’t added them. They don’t want to waste their resources crawling huge pages looking for OpenGraph tags.
Scenario 2: The gain browser cache option in most cache plugins like W3 Total Cache is known to not play well with Facebook’s OpenGraph detection. If you have it enabled, disable it. The option for W3 Total Cache is at WP > Performance > Browser Cache > HTTP (gzip) compression
Then, clear your website and server cache (including Cloudflare – if enabled)
Once you are done, you might want to test again here:

Scrape Againbutton:
You should now see the OpenGraph tags update including the image.
Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else. Thank you.
