Why are the images on my Webflow page not showing up properly in the published site even though they are visible in design mode and the URLs are accessible?

It sounds like your images are visible in design mode but not on the published site. This could be due to a few different reasons related to image paths, file access, or cache issues.

​

1. Check Image Paths

• Ensure the image paths are correct and that you haven't moved or renamed the files in your Webflow project.
• If using external links, verify they are still valid and accessible.

​

2. File Accessibility

• Verify the images have been uploaded to Webflow's server. Sometimes files may appear available locally but haven't synced properly.
• Clear your browser cache and check again on the published site.

​

3. Published Site Settings

• Republish your site from the Webflow Designer by clicking the Publish button to ensure all recent changes are live.
• Ensure there are no custom code conflicts that might affect image loading.

​

4. Permissions and Blocking

• If using content delivery network restrictions, check for any CORS policy violations that might block images.
• Check if any adblockers or extensions in your browser might be interfering with image display.

​

5. Image Optimization Settings

• Disable lazy loading (remove the loading="lazy" attribute) for critical images to test if they then appear.
• Compress images appropriately to avoid load issues, but ensure they are still linked properly.

​

Summary

By verifying image paths, file accessibility, and ensuring your site is published correctly without conflicts, you should resolve most issues with images not appearing on your published Webflow site. If the issue persists, consider Webflow support for specific help.
