    To check if your website is blocked by Facebook, you can use the Facebook Sharing Debugger tool.

    All you need to do is enter your site’s URL and click the Debug button. If your website is blocked by Facebook, you should see the following message (or something similar):

    We can’t review this website because the content doesn’t meet our Community Standards. If you think this is a mistake, please let us know.

    If your website is indeed blocked by Facebook, here’s how to fix the problem so that you and others can share your content again.

    1. Make sure you’re not violating any Community Standards

    Before doing anything else, you need to make sure that your website doesn’t violate Facebook’s Community Standards.

    If your website is legitimately violating any standards, you’re not going to be able to unblock it.

    Read through the Facebook Community Standards in detail and think about how/if any of them could apply to your site.

    2. Submit your website to Facebook for reconsideration

    Once you’re 100% sure that your website doesn’t violate Facebook’s Community Standards, you can submit it for reconsideration.

    To do this, go back to the Facebook Sharing Debugger tool and enter your website again. You should see the same message telling you that your website is blocked.

    To submit your website for reconsideration, click the let us know link:

    This will take you to a form where you can submit a short message explaining why your site should be unblocked:

    • If your site never violated the Community Standards, you can explain that here.
    • If your site did violate the Community Standards but you’ve since removed the offending content, you can also let them know about that.
    Custom message

    Facebook doesn’t offer a specific timeline for when they’ll respond. However, you should expect it to take anywhere from a few weeks to a month (and you might not get a response at all – you can try resubmitting again if that’s the case).
