    I have a client who wanted to update the meta description for Twitter card. The Twitter link showed the old Twitter description and she wanted to change it so she went to Yoast SEO plug-in to update the Twitter description and saved the post then cleared cache. However, the twitter preview link still shows the old description instead of the updated description. What can I do to get Twitter to show the updated description when linking the post on Twitter?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @jo15on1530

    Thanks for reaching out about your Twitter description. I viewed the page source and the description shown is:

    <meta name="twitter:description" content="Social cues can be complicated for anyone to interpret, and they may not come as naturally for autistic youth and adults. Some cues are more important than others, and it's possible to learn to recognize them!" />

    This also matches what I get when I try to share directly on Twitter; see screenshot. Can you let me know the description if this is correct?

    Yes, this is correct. Why did it take so long for them to update the twitter description for the Twitter card?

    Also, what can I do to ensure that it’ll be updated quickly?

    There is no definite time it takes; also it could have been updated but you didn’t notice. Clearing your browser cache will be helpful in this instance.

    By the way, did this happen only to Twitter? If it also affected Facebook, you may use the Facebook sharing debugger and scrape a few times
