If your Webflow page preview (title, description, image) isn’t updating when sharing on LinkedIn, it's likely due to LinkedIn caching outdated metadata.
1. Update Webflow SEO Settings Correctly
- Go to Page Settings in your Webflow project.
- Scroll down to the SEO Settings section.
- Make sure the Title Tag, Meta Description, and Open Graph image (OG image) are all filled out.
- Also ensure the correct values are set in the Open Graph Settings (which often mirror the SEO settings).
- For collection pages, verify that dynamic values used in SEO fields (e.g., from CMS) are valid and exist.
2. Republish Your Webflow Site
- Click Publish in the Webflow Designer or Project Settings.
- Republish to both Custom Domain and Webflow.io to ensure metadata updates apply to all versions.
- Visit your live site and inspect the page source to confirm the updated
<title>
, <meta name="description">
, and <meta property="og:image">
tags are present. - If changes aren’t there, ensure you saved changes and published them correctly.
- LinkedIn caches link previews. To refresh it:
- Go to the LinkedIn Post Inspector: https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/
- Paste in your URL and click Inspect.
- This will force LinkedIn to scrape the page again and update the preview.
- You should see the updated title, description, and image.
5. Check Image Requirements
- For Open Graph images, use a file that:
- Is at least 1200 x 630 px
- Has a supported format (e.g., JPG or PNG)
- Is publicly accessible (uploaded to Webflow asset manager or hosted externally)
Summary
To fix link preview issues on LinkedIn: update your SEO/Open Graph settings in Webflow, republish your site, then use LinkedIn’s Post Inspector to refresh the cache. Always validate your metadata on the live page before rescraping.
