Almost always the answer is bot and social-crawler traffic. Each time a URL on your site is shared, search engines and social platforms scrape it for an OG image, and that scrape generates the image. Sites with large archives or RSS feeds can see hundreds or thousands of renders without you doing anything.

If your usage looks wrong (for example, far higher than your total post count), contact us — we’ll review the logs for your API key and confirm what’s happening.

MightyShare generates images on demand, not in bulk. A post’s social image is created the first time someone (or a crawler) requests the social preview for that URL. So a brand-new post won’t have a cached image until the first share or scrape happens.

You can warm the cache for a post immediately by:

1. Visiting the post on your site and viewing the page source — the og:image URL will trigger generation.
2. Using Facebook’s Sharing Debugger or LinkedIn’s Post Inspector on the post URL.
3. Sharing the post once on any platform that scrapes OG tags.

No — MightyShare hooks into your existing og:image tags automatically once the plugin is installed and your API key is entered. Existing posts will start getting MightyShare images the next time they’re shared or scraped.

If you have a large archive (thousands of posts) and want every image generated up front rather than on demand, reach out — we can talk about a one-time backfill credit so your archive doesn’t eat into your monthly plan.

No — not automatically and not all at once. When you change a template:

• Cached images keep being served until their cache entry expires or the page content changes.
• New shares and scrapes of a post will use the new template, generating one render per page as those requests come in over time.
• You’re never silently billed for a mass regeneration — the cost is spread out naturally as pages are re-scraped.

If you specifically want every post regenerated immediately after a redesign, that’s a manual action and on large sites can exceed your monthly plan — talk to us first.

Yes. In the WordPress plugin settings you can:

• Enable or disable MightyShare per post type (posts, pages, custom post types).
• Override the template on a per-post basis from the post editor sidebar.
• Disable MightyShare entirely for a specific post if you’d rather use a custom uploaded image.

If you exceed your monthly usage, we do not currently charge extra fees. On the free plan, if you go over the limit, your requests will be redirected to the background image set for the request.

Previously generated images stay cached and continue to serve normally. Once your monthly quota is hit on a lower plan, new render requests for previously unseen URLs will fall back to the page’s configured background or default image instead of generating a new MightyShare image. No images are deleted.

Simply install our WordPress plugin to integrate MightyShare with your website. After installing the MightyShare plugin you can enter your API key into the dashboard to start generating social images!
