Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing issues with the og:image tag on your client’s site when checking it on Facebook Debugger. This can be frustrating, but we can help you troubleshoot this.
If the og:image tag is set correctly on the website but appears differently in the Facebook Debugger, there might be a few reasons for this discrepancy. One common issue could be related to caching or minification affecting how Facebook reads the Open Graph tags.
To address this, you can follow these steps:
-
Check Open Graph Tags Placement: Ensure that the og:image tag is not pushed towards the end of the page’s source code due to minification or caching. Facebook only looks for Open Graph tags in the first 60 KB of your page’s source code. If they are pushed down, Facebook may not detect them correctly.
-
Disable Gzip Compression: If you have gzip compression enabled in your cache plugin, like W3 Total Cache, it might interfere with Facebook’s Open Graph detection. Disable this option and clear your website and server cache, including Cloudflare if enabled.
-
Scrape Again in Facebook Sharing Debugger: After making these changes, use the Facebook Sharing Debugger tool to scrape the page again. This will force Facebook to update and read the Open Graph tags, including the image.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please feel free to reach out to our support team directly from here. They will be more than happy to assist you further.
I hope this helps resolve the problem for your client’s site. If you need any further assistance, please let us know. Thank you for reaching out to us!
