How to clear Linkedin Share cache?

Question

I have a new description in the page but when I share the page it is still using the old description that no longer exists, I am after something similar like the Facebook Lint.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can append dummy query string value to your url and make it look like a new url and LinkedIn fetches it again. I've tried it and it works.

For example:

https://www.codeproof.com/?refid=LinkedIn

where refid=LinkedIn is just a dummy value.

If your url already contains query string and then just append "&refid=LinkedIn" at the end of the url.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, appending a query string to the URL no longer works.

From the following StackOverflow post:

LinkedIn's content cache presently stores website information for approximately 7 days before the crawler will revisit the site.

There looks like there is no instant way to clear the cache, but to wait seven days, remove the media and re-add it.
