How to troubleshoot social media previews (Debug Metadata)

This page explains how to refresh your page's metadata if the wrong image, title, or description appears when sharing on social media.

When to use metadata debugging

If you have shared the link to your page on social networks and the image, title, or description displayed does not correspond to the SEO configurations you have set up on SystemeScale, you must request a debug from the social network on which the problem appeared.

The advantage of using debug links is that it allows you to update and refresh the SEO part of a page.

Refresh your preview on Facebook or Meta

Let's take the example of the page https://www.systemescale.com/ and the Facebook debug link below:

Refresh your preview on LinkedIn

Each social network has its own debug link. For example, you can use the LinkedIn debug link below:

https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/

Paste your page URL into the LinkedIn Post Inspector to preview and refresh the way LinkedIn reads your page metadata.

Find debugger tools for other platforms

To find tools for other platforms, search online for [Platform Name] debugger.

Additional note

When you experience this kind of problem, be aware that it can also be related to the search engines or browsers used, so we recommend that you always update them to the latest version.
