How can I fix the frequent error page issue after switching my Webflow site to SSL?

TL;DR
  • Enable SSL in Webflow's hosting settings and publish the site.
  • Update DNS records to use Webflow's A records and CNAME for SSL.
  • Clear browser cache, refresh, and check for mixed content errors.
  • Contact Webflow Support if issues persist.

Switching to SSL might lead to error pages if the setup isn't complete. Here’s how to fix it: 

​

1. Check SSL Configuration

  • Go to Project Settings on your Webflow dashboard.
  • Navigate to the Hosting tab.
  • Ensure that SSL is enabled. If not, toggle it on and publish the site again.

​

2. Update DNS Records

  • Verify your DNS settings under the Custom Domains section.
  • Ensure that your domain points to Webflow's updated A records: (a) 75.2.70.75, (b) 99.83.190.102.
  • Check that the CNAME record (for www) points to proxy-ssl.webflow.com.

​

3. Clear Cache and Refresh

  • Clear your browser cache to ensure that old SSL certificates and settings aren't causing the issue.
  • Refresh your page and attempt to access it again.

​

4. Check for Mixed Content Errors

  • Access your site and inspect the console for any mixed content warnings.
  • Update any non-HTTPS resources or links to ensure they use HTTPS.

​

5. Contact Webflow Support

  • If the issue persists, contact Webflow Support for additional assistance.

​

Summary

To fix frequent error pages after switching to SSL in Webflow, ensure your SSL is enabled, verify DNS records, clear your browser cache, check for mixed content, and contact support if necessary.
