Can Webflow provide an option in the editor to easily add the "nofollow" tag to external links in blog posts and articles?

Webflow does not provide a built-in option in the Editor to easily add the "nofollow" tag to external links in blog posts and articles. However, you can manually add the attribute using the Rich Text Editor's custom code feature or by modifying the page template.

1. Manually Add "nofollow" Using Custom Code

• In the Webflow CMS Rich Text Editor, select the text for the link and insert the external URL.
• Switch to Custom Code Mode by clicking the "Custom Code" (</>) button.
• Modify the anchor tag manually to include rel="nofollow". Example:
• <a href="https://example.com" rel="nofollow">External Link</a>
• Save and publish your changes.

2. Use Embed Code in Rich Text Fields

• If you frequently need "nofollow" links, add an Embed element inside the Rich Text field.
• Insert your custom links with rel="nofollow" directly in the HTML.

3. Modify the CMS Template for Automatic "nofollow"

• If you want all external links in blog posts to have "nofollow", you can use custom JavaScript:
• Add the following script inside the Page Settings > Custom Code > Footer Code section:
  • <script>document.querySelectorAll('a[href^="http"]').forEach(link => { if (!link.href.includes(window.location.hostname)) { link.setAttribute("rel", "nofollow"); }});</script>
• This ensures that any external links on the page automatically receive the "nofollow" attribute.

Summary

Webflow does not have a built-in option for "nofollow" links in the Editor. However, you can manually insert rel="nofollow" in individual links using the Custom Code Mode, use embedded HTML, or apply JavaScript to enforce it site-wide.
