Updated over a week ago

You may run into a situtation where you've updated your site's meta tags, but the share preview of your post is showing out of date/incorrect information, you may need to reset the cached images/data for your profile on the social networks.

Most social networks will 'cache' data about about your posts when they are shared to the platform.

Facebook / Instagram

  1. Enter your profile URL and click "Debug"

    This will give you a snapshot of exactly what Facebook / Instagram sees for your URL.

  2. To force Facebook to recrawl your page, select the "Scrape Again" button.

    Facebook will then update your information, which you'll be able to see.

  3. You can now share you profile again

LinkedIn
