Why are some images missing on a published page in Webflow, when they appear fine in the Webflow designer?

There could be a few possible reasons for images missing on a published page in Webflow even though they appear fine in the Webflow designer. Here are some potential causes and solutions to consider:

1. Incorrect file paths: Ensure that the file paths for the images are correct. If the images are stored in a different folder or location than what is specified in the HTML or CSS code, the images may not load properly. Double-check the file paths and ensure they are accurate.

2. Case sensitivity: Be aware of any case sensitivity issues with file names and file extensions. Web servers often treat file names as case sensitive, whereas the Webflow designer may not. For example, if an image file is named "Image.jpg" but referenced as "image.jpg" in the code, the image may appear fine in the designer but fail to load when published. Make sure file names and references are consistent in terms of capitalization.

3. Broken image links: If the images are linked from external sources or hosted on another server, it's possible that the image links have become broken or expired. Double-check the URLs of the image sources and make sure they are still accessible. You can test this by opening the image URL directly in a web browser to see if the image loads.

4. Recheck image upload: If the images were uploaded to the Webflow asset manager, verify that the images were successfully uploaded and are still in the asset manager. Sometimes, images may appear in the designer if they were cached, but they may not be available if they were deleted or moved within the asset manager.

5. Responsive layout issues: It's also possible that the missing images are a result of responsive layout settings. If you have different image sizes or breakpoints set up in Webflow, make sure that you have assigned appropriate images to each resolution or breakpoint. If an image is missing from a specific breakpoint or viewport size, it may not appear on the published page.

6. Network or caching issues: Lastly, it's worth considering network or caching issues. Clear your browser cache and try accessing the published page again. Additionally, test the page on different devices, browsers, and networks to determine if the issue persists across all platforms.

If none of these solutions resolve the issue, it may be best to reach out to Webflow support or the Webflow community forum for further assistance. Provide specific details about the missing images, the steps you've taken to troubleshoot, and any other relevant information to help diagnose and resolve the problem more effectively.
