Hi,

We are getting a 429 Too Many Requests error when we try to share any of our news stories on Facebook.

http://www.wgel.com

After researching this, it sounds like it’s a server configuration problem with too many connections on the server and that returns the error. We are hosted at Godaddy, they confirmed this as well however they will not make any changes to get this to work.

So my question is, how can we get in and possibly change the Facebook share code to work in another way that doesn’t cause more sessions with the server?

If anyone has any help with a solution, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dan

hi,
you get this because other sites on that server you are hosted on, also make connections to facebook.

the problem is that you can share on facebook only using facebook API. If they don’t change the API’s then your stuck.

one solution can be to move your account to another server, or provider (don’t choose the cheapest ones, as they are also used by spammers ).

Thanks for you message.
Radu A.
