How can I fix the issue of my edited Webflow settings not reflecting on LinkedIn when sharing the link?

TL;DR
  • Update SEO and Open Graph settings in Webflow and ensure dynamic values are valid.
  • Republish the site to all domains, verify metadata in the live page source, then refresh the LinkedIn preview using the Post Inspector.

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page preview (title, description, image) isn’t updating when sharing on LinkedIn, it's likely due to LinkedIn caching outdated metadata.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.

3. Validate Metadata Rendering

  • 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.

4. Clear LinkedIn’s Metadata Cache

  • 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.
