Why are the images and titles not updating on the published Webflow site, even after trying to republish and making sure the site has been published?

TL;DR
  • Clear cache: Hard refresh the page, use an incognito window, and flush CDN or hosting cache.
  • Check assets & CMS: Ensure images are uploaded correctly and CMS entries are published.
  • Disable Asset CDN: Turn off Webflow’s Asset CDN in Project Settings to test.
  • Republish site: Unpublish, then manually republish to all domains.
  • Verify domain settings: Clear DNS cache and check A/CNAME records.
  • Test on Webflow.io: Publish to the Webflow.io subdomain to identify caching or DNS issues.

If images and titles are not updating after republishing your Webflow site, there may be caching, CDN, or CMS-related issues causing the problem. Follow these steps to resolve it.

1. Clear Browser and CDN Cache

  • Hard refresh the page using Cmd + Shift + R (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows).
  • Try viewing the site in an incognito/private window.
  • If you’re using a custom domain, flush the Cloudflare or hosting provider cache if applicable.

2. Check Asset Upload and CMS Entries

  • Ensure images are properly uploaded and displayed within the Webflow Editor/Designer.
  • If using CMS collections, confirm that the affected items are correctly published from the CMS panel.
  • Go to Collections > [Your Collection] > Click on an item > Click "Save" and "Publish" to force an update.

3. Disable Webflow’s Asset Optimization

  • Webflow uses a CDN to optimize images, which may cause outdated assets to appear.
  • Go to Project Settings > Hosting > Scroll to "Asset CDN" and try turning it off to test.

4. Republish the Entire Site

  • Instead of republishing only the changes, go to Project Settings > Publishing > Click "Unpublish Site".
  • Then republish manually by clicking "Publish to Selected Domains".

5. Verify Custom Domain & SSL Configuration

  • If using a custom domain, clear the DNS cache by visiting Google’s Flush Cache.
  • Ensure Webflow’s A and CNAME records are correctly set in your domain provider’s settings.

6. Test on a Webflow.io Subdomain

  • Preview the changes by publishing only to the Webflow.io subdomain.
  • If updates appear there but not on the custom domain, it’s likely a DNS or caching issue with your provider.

Summary

Clearing browser cache, verifying CMS or asset updates, disabling Webflow’s Asset CDN, fully republishing, and checking DNS propagation can help resolve stale images and titles. If the issue persists, try testing on your Webflow.io subdomain or contact Webflow support.
