When Facebook servers are overloaded they can’t index it during the request time. Facebook throws one of the errors mentioned above. Facebook still indexes the link, so the second try couple minutes later usually goes without any problems. Right now, we have not added the Retry attempt if this certain problem appears but we will be adding this within the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, you can republish the same content to your social channel.
