5 Steps to Fix Wrong Thumbnail image fetch while Facebook link share

Why facebook fetching wrong thumbnail?

Sometimes your thumbnail image will not fetch or the wrong thumbnail will be fetched while sharing your website or blog link on facebook.

Do you know why this is happening?

Facebook does not know about your websites. If you are sharing the link first time across Facebook, it tries to fetch all the details such as title, description, images, etc. But the problem is there could be some delay or incomplete read while link information retrieval. This is the bug in the facebook.

Is there any solution?

Yes. We have the solution. But actually, this is the workaround. There is a tool called facebook debugger. The tool is used to debug your page. It is a kind of information extractor from your page.
