When you share a Webflow site link on LinkedIn and the preview (title, description, or image) does not reflect recent changes, the issue is typically due to LinkedIn caching outdated Open Graph (OG) metadata.
1. Verify Your Webflow SEO and Open Graph Settings
- Go to Page Settings in Webflow (for the page you’re sharing).
- Under SEO Settings, confirm that the Title Tag and Meta Description are up to date.
- Scroll to Open Graph Settings and ensure:
- Use different image for social sharing is enabled (if applicable).
- OG title, description, and image are properly filled in.
If the OG section is empty, LinkedIn may fallback to the site’s default or even skip the preview rendering.
2. Publish Your Website
- After making changes in Webflow, click Publish to selected domains.
- You must publish to ensure updated metadata is live on your actual hosted page (LinkedIn reads from the published version).
3. Test Your Page Metadata
- Open your live page in a browser.
- View Page Source and search for Open Graph tags like og:title, og:description, and og:image to confirm your changes are present.
4. Force LinkedIn to Refresh Its Cache
- Go to the LinkedIn Post Inspector: https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector
- Paste your full page URL and click Inspect.
- LinkedIn will scrape the current metadata and re-cache it based on the live content.
5. Clear and Reattempt Sharing
- After re-scraping with the Post Inspector, try sharing the link on LinkedIn again.
- You should now see the correct preview image, title, and description.
Summary
To fix Webflow changes not showing on LinkedIn, update your Open Graph settings in Webflow, publish your site, and then use LinkedIn’s Post Inspector to clear the cache and trigger a re-scrape of the updated metadata.
