Facebook open graphic image does not appear on the first resource, although the width and height are defined

Question

Over the past few weeks, the window with the shared page (before sending the shared resource) does not display the specified og image: the first time the page is shared. The image is displayed on the most common entry and after the following resource requests.

We launched our pages through the FB debugger, and we received the following message

The provided og: image properties are not yet available, as new images are processed asynchronously. To provide access to new URLs, specify the image, specify the sizes using "og: image: width" and 'og: image: height'. More details

The problem is that we define the og: image: width and og: image: height tags, and the FB debugger even shows them on the same page, displaying this message ... See attached image below.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Answer 1

I think this is the facebook error that Alexey was talking about. https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/184653232016624/

However, one work around is to initiate prefetching through their api.

curl -X POST \
-F "id=http://your.url/here" \
-F "scrape=true" \
"https://graph.facebook.com"
