URL returned a bad HTTP response code. 429
1

When sharing my website content to facebook nine times out of ten I'm getting no image appearing. and when I enter the url into the sharing debugger it returns "URL returned a bad HTTP response code. 429" Occasionally it says everything is fine but if I scrape it again it says it's bad again. Sometimes it shares the url successfully on facebook but this happens very rarely. I have been sharing my website content to facebook without issue for over twelve years until this issue started a week ago.

Is this just a facebook glitch and should I just wait it out until they fix it or is there an issue with my site ?

Can anyone assist ?

Debug this on your end to learn why your (!) server returns a 429 response code for some requests.
