LinkedIn Preview Image Not Showing? Diagnose in 5 Minutes

Fix missing LinkedIn preview images by validating og:image size, mime type, accessibility, and cache invalidation.

What usually breaks LinkedIn previews

  • Image too small: aim for at least 1200×627.
  • Wrong format: prefer JPG/PNG with valid content-type headers.
  • Blocked crawler: robots or WAF rules deny LinkedInBot.
  • Relative URLs: og:image should be absolute.
  • Cache lag: LinkedIn may hold old scrape data after updates.

After updating tags, re-share with a unique query string (for example ?v=2) to force a fresh scrape path while cache catches up.
