How can I resolve the issue of images not loading when changing pages or searching for results on Webflow, specifically with regards to a pagination setup using Finsweet? This problem only occurs on the production site, as the staging site works without any issues.
If you're experiencing an issue with images not loading when changing pages or searching for results on your production site using pagination setup with Finsweet, while the staging site works fine, there are a few potential reasons for this behavior. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow to resolve the issue:
1. Cache-related issue: Check if the issue is related to caching. Sometimes, images may not load due to cached versions of the pages being served. Try clearing your browser cache and performing a hard refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R on Windows or Cmd + Shift + R on Mac) to see if that resolves the problem. Additionally, you can try clearing the cache within Webflow by going to Project Settings > Hosting > Clear All Cache.
2. Relative paths: Verify that the image paths you're using in your Webflow project are relative rather than absolute. Absolute paths, such as "https://mydomain.com/images/myimage.jpg," can cause issues when moving between pages or environments. Ensure that the paths for your images are set up correctly and relative to the root or your project's asset folder.
3. Asset optimization: If you're using Webflow's built-in image optimization feature, it's worth checking if this is causing the issue. Navigate to your project settings and disable the "Enable asset optimization" option. Test your pagination setup again to see if the images load correctly. If they do, there may be some conflicts between the optimization process and the Finsweet pagination setup.
4. Finsweet settings or conflicts: Check your Finsweet pagination setup and configuration to make sure there are no conflicts or misconfigurations. Ensure that you follow the official Finsweet documentation, review any custom code you might have added, and compare it with the staging site where the issue is not present.
5. Third-party script conflicts: It's possible that there could be conflicts between Finsweet and other scripts or plugins used on your production site. Temporarily disable any other custom code or scripts to determine if any of them are causing the issue. You can also try removing the Finsweet setup temporarily and observe if the images start loading correctly. If they do, it may indicate a conflict that needs to be addressed.
6. Check the browser console: Open the browser console (Right-click > Inspect > Console tab) and look for any error messages related to the missing images. The console can provide valuable insights into potential issues that could be causing the images not to load.
If none of these steps solve the issue, consider reaching out to Finsweet support or posting your question on the Webflow community forum, providing as much detail as possible. Remember to mention the differences between your production and staging sites to help the community diagnose the problem accurately and suggest the best possible solution.
