Facebook OG image not showing

Hi,
When I try sharing my site’s posts/pages on Facebook, their title and description loaded fine but the images though i set featured images for each and every one of them.
Kindly assist.
Thanks.

Your homepage outputs this image and Facebook returns the following error:
{image} could not be downloaded because it exceeded the maximum allowed sized of 8Mb or your server was too slow to respond.
Unfortunately, this either means the image is too large (not likely) or something in your setup is causing your server to respond too slow. The fastest way to rule out conflicts is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Sixteen. If this resolves the issue, you have a conflict and should activate one plugin at a time until you locate the conflict. Finally, after all plugins are active, switch to your theme. This will narrow down the conflict to a specific plugin or theme. If you are unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we wrote a small guide that will walk you through the steps. You can find it here: How To Check For Plugin Conflicts
If you do not find an internal conflict, this means your server is responding too slow. Please contact your webhost for assistance with server issues.
The course example page outputs this full size image which, for an unknown reason, does not work. The smaller version, however, loads correctly. Have you intentionally removed or restricted access to the full size version of this image? If so, please manually set the Facebook image to the correct image URL. If you haven’t removed or restricted access, please run a conflict check to determine what in your setup has caused the restriction.
Keep Yoast SEO active while answering these questions:

- Does the image load while Plugin B is active but Plugin A is inactive?
- Yes: Plugin B is not conflicting.?Go to next question.
No: Plugin B is conflicting. Contact Plugin B’s support team.
- Does the image load while Plugin A & B are inactive?
- Yes: The combination of both is causing the image to not load. Contact the support teams for both plugins and report the conflict.
- No: Something else is causing the issue.
A full conflict check should help point you in the right direction.
1. Disable all plugins. Switch to a default theme like Twenty Sixteen. Do the images load?
No: Something in your setup or on your server. This may require hiring someone to dig deeper into your site but I’d first reach out to your webhost and have them check the error and access log in case it provides more information.
Yes: Go to next step.2. Activate Yoast SEO. Do the images load?
No: Something in Yoast SEO.
Yes: Go to next step.3. Activate a single plugin. Do the images load?
No: This plugin is conflicting. Contact this plugin’s support team.
Yes: Go to next step.4. Are all of your plugins active?
No: Repeat step 3.
Yes: Go to next step.5. Activate your theme. Do the images load?
No: Your theme is conflicting. Contact your theme’s support team.
Yes: Problem fixed with image display. Force update Facebook’s cache of the test URLs above to see if the original issue is resolved as well.
