Jetpack does indeed use shortlinks when pushing your posts to Twitter. It shouldn’t break anything on your site though, as WordPress will automatically redirect users from the shortlink to the original permalink.
If you do not want to see these links, you can activate the wp.me shortlinks module, or another shortlink plugin like WP Bit.ly.
Hey Jeremy thanks for your kind reply. Yes you are right when I was using wp.me shortlink module I have never faced any issues like that, but again it also has a big drawback. See I use Twitter summery card for my site, and if I activate the wp.me shortlink module, the the auto post has been done, it wont show the link as a summery twitter card. I have to again tweet it manually for that.
Any solution for this?
Thanks

That seems like a bug with Twitter Cards: using shortlinks or URL shorteners shoudn’t break them. Could you post your site URL here so I can have a look?
If you want it to remain private, you can also contact us via this contact form:

ofcourse. My site url is http://www8.isaumya.com/
Thanks! I was able to reproduce the issue with your latest post. The long URL returns a proper summary on Twitter, while the shortlink doesn’t.
Both links return error in the Twitter Card validator, though:
http://i.wpne.ws/RsWv
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards/validation/validator
I can’t reproduce the problem on other domains; the wp.me shortlink usually returns the same results as the long form link.
Could you go through the steps to validate your site on twitter.com, and then try to validate both a long and a short link from your site?
Thanks!
Hi, I have no idea why the validator showing error to you, everything seems fine here in the validator. Even the short link too – Check this out: https://www.diigo.com/item/image/3um1h/ur4e
I tried again today, and the validator returns correct results for the original URL now:
http://i.wpne.ws/RuKi
It does, however, return an error for the shortlink.
Could you switch to another theme for a few minutes, and try again? Your current theme seems to remove the shortlink from your site’s header, and that could be what’s causing the problem.
The shortlink is probably removed with this code, in your theme’s functions.php file:
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_shortlink_wp_head', 10, 0 );
Thank you very much for your reply. Trust me I have searched all the codes of my theme but did not find anything you have mentioned. Could you please sent me a mail, so that I can sent you the required files of my theme and you can take a look into it. My mail id is mailme@isaumya.com
Just drop me a mail, and I will reply you.
I hope you will understand.
@isaumya What happens when you switch to one of the default themes for a few minutes? Do you experience similar issues?
Thanks!
My site has pagespeed and w3 installed, also if I change the theme, it will make my users unhappy, anyways, I have pasted this link http://wp.me/p3pO7D-gE in a manual tweek and it is start showing summery. Dont know what is going on.

This might have been a temporary issue with Twitter. Let me know if the links are back to normal next time you publish a post!
Ofcourse I will let you know, anyways, I have sent an email via jetpack.me contact form for the issue of Contact Form of Jetpack, please check it.
Thank for all your help.
