    Hi, I have just started with wordpress.org. I run a travel blog from India : trippindian.com

    I am using Enigma-Parallax theme and the problem is When I share a post on facebook it picks up my wordpress logo. I checked in the facebook Debugger, the warnings are :

    Image Unavailable
    Provided og:image, https://i1.wp.com/trippindian.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_20160728_203326.jpg?fit=1200%2C754&ssl=1 could not be downloaded because it exceeded the maximum allowed sized of 8Mb or your server was too slow to respond.
    Share App ID Missing
    The ‘fb:app_id’ property should be explicitly provided, Specify the app ID so that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share dialog.

    Can anyone help me out ?

    This appears to be the source of the problem:

    Provided og:image could not be downloaded because it exceeded the maximum allowed sized of 8Mb or your server was too slow to respond.

    It appears that the image was not accessible when Facebook’s bot accessed your site to gather data about the post.

    As you can see in the example above, your images are cached with Jetpack’s Photon module. However, if the original image can’t be downloaded in less than 10 seconds, Photon will return a broken image, and all Facebook will see is that broken image.

    Could you make sure your site’s images can be accessed as quickly as possible, and let me know if it helps with your next posts?

    Hi, Thanks for the reply but I am confused.
    How do I test the speed of the images ?

    How do I test the speed of the images ?

    If you use Chrome, you can use Chrome Dev Tools to test the speed of your images, as explained here:
    https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/network-performance/resource-loading

    You’d need to run those tests a few seconds after publishing to get an experience similar to what Facebook’s bot gets when accessing your site.
