Webflow sync, pageviews & more.

Have you also experienced problems with saving changes in Webflow? I have encountered an issue where my work was not saved, even though I made sure to save multiple times. This happened on both a test project and the actual project. Has anyone else had a similar experience while using Webflow on Chrome?

TL;DR
  • Check your internet connection, disable Chrome extensions or use Incognito mode, and confirm you're seeing save confirmations in Webflow.
  • If issues continue, clear your browser cache and cookies, check Webflow's status, and contact support with detailed information.

You're describing a situation where changes in Webflow aren't saving, despite clicking Save or seeing autosave indicators. This can happen in specific scenarios, especially in Chrome.

1. Check Internet Connectivity

  • Intermittent internet issues can cause Webflow's autosave to silently fail.
  • Even if you're online, temporary drops can prevent changes from syncing to Webflow servers.
  • Try switching networks and replicating the issue to rule out connection problems.

2. Review Browser-Specific Issues

  • Chrome extensions (like ad blockers, privacy tools, or script blockers) can interfere with Webflow’s editor.
  • Disable unnecessary extensions or try Incognito mode with extensions turned off.
  • Make sure Chrome is updated to the latest version.

3. Confirm Webflow Server Status

  • Occasionally, Webflow experiences outages or syncing issues.
  • Check Webflow's status page to see if there are ongoing problems.
  • If editing during a downtime, your changes might appear to save but not persist on reload.

4. Look for Save Confirmation

  • After changes, Webflow shows a small “All changes saved” confirmation in the top toolbar.
  • If this doesn’t appear within a few seconds, your edits may not be saved.
  • You can manually trigger a save by publishing the changes or switching pages to force autosave.

5. Sync Across Devices

  • If you switch between tabs or devices while working, unsynced changes might be lost.
  • Work in only one Webflow Designer tab at a time to avoid version conflicts.

6. Clear Cache and Cookies

  • A corrupted cache or outdated cookies can cause buggy behavior in Webflow.
  • Clear your browser cache and cookies, then restart Chrome to test again.

7. Contact Webflow Support for Persistent Issues

  • If this happens consistently even after trying the above, you may want to contact Webflow Support.
  • Include details like project name, time of incident, browser version, and a screen recording if possible.

Summary

If Webflow isn't saving your work in Chrome, verify your internet connection, disable interfering extensions, and check for save confirmations. If the issue persists, clear your cache and consider reporting it to Webflow Support for deeper troubleshooting.
