How can I remove code from my Webflow home page's meta description?

TL;DR
  • Open Webflow Page Settings for your homepage and ensure the meta description contains only plain text, with no HTML or script.
  • Review custom code in both page-level and project-level settings to remove any improperly inserted meta tags or scripts.
  • Confirm meta title and description in Webflow Designer are code-free and accurate.
  • Re-index the page via Google Search Console and check previews using tools like Meta Tags Preview or Facebook Sharing Debugger.

If your Webflow homepage is showing unwanted code or HTML in the meta description, it’s likely due to misconfigured SEO settings or custom code added in the wrong place.

1. Check Page Settings in Webflow

  • Go to your Webflow Dashboard and open your project.
  • Click Pages (icon in the left-hand panel), then hover over Home and click the gear icon to open Page Settings.
  • Under the SEO Settings, review the Meta Description field.
  • Ensure there's no code, script tags, or HTML—this should contain only plain text for the page description.
  • Remove anything that looks like HTML or JavaScript.

2. Inspect Custom Code in the Page or Site Settings

  • Still in Page Settings, scroll down to Before tag and Before tag sections.
  • Check for any custom code that could be affecting the meta tags improperly. For example, avoid inserting <meta> tags manually unless you know what you're doing.
  • Then go to Project Settings > Custom Code and review the Head Code and Footer Code areas.
  • If you're using a CMS or dynamic embed code in these areas, ensure they’re not injecting malformed content into the page.

3. Use the Webflow Designer’s Meta Title/Description Feature

  • In Webflow Designer, click Pages panel > Home > Settings (gear icon).
  • In the SEO Settings, make sure the meta title and description are:
  • Free from code
  • Text-only
  • Relevant to the page content

4. Reconnect Google and Social Scraping Tools

Summary

To remove code from your homepage meta description in Webflow, edit the SEO settings of the Home page, ensure the meta description field contains only plain text, and verify that no custom code sections are inserting HTML or scripts improperly. Then re-submit the page for re-indexing if necessary.
