When you make any changes to your web page, you might face a problem when posting its link on Facebook. The Facebook link preview<\/strong> might contain old data from your website (including, page title, description, and featured image), since the social network caches information and doesn’t update as often as we would like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, you cannot update link attributes on-the-go while making a post. But you can ask Facebook to scrape the page again to update the necessary data.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the changes will become effective as soon as you make a request.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to do it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to make Facebook scrape your page again<\/span><\/h2>\n

Follow these 4 simple steps to update your Facebook link preview after changing some information on your website and republishing it:<\/b><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Copy the link to the web page you\u2019ve recently changed or updated.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Go to Facebook Sharing Debugger<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Paste a link to your web page into the field at the top and click <\/span>Debug<\/i><\/b>.<\/span>
\n\"Update<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Click Scrape Again.<\/i><\/b>
\n\"Update<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s it. The Facebook link preview will be updated immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n
