How can I fix the issue of my edited Webflow settings not reflecting on LinkedIn when sharing the link?

TL;DR
  • Update Open Graph settings in Webflow and ensure title, description, and image are correctly set.  
  • Publish the site, verify metadata in page source, then use LinkedIn Post Inspector to refresh the preview cache.

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preview (title, description, or image) does not reflect recent changes, the issue is typically due to LinkedIn caching outdated Open Graph (OG) metadata.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.
