Webflow redirects: the basics

What is a 301 redirect in Webflow?

A 301 redirect is a permanent transfer from one URL to another.
In Webflow, it’s mainly used to:

  • Preserve your SEO after a redesign or URL change

  • Automatically redirect old deleted pages

  • Avoid 404 errors

  • Improve the user experience

URL format in Webflow

FieldRequired format
From (old URL)/old-page
To (new URL)/new-page

good to know

Google recommends using 301 redirects instead of 302s to keep almost all of your PageRank (≈ 90 to 99%).

Concrete example

GoalOld URLNew URL
Redirect a deleted page/services-2022/services
Fix a misspelled URL/agance-webflow/agence-webflow
Full site structure rebuild/blog/post-1/resources/article-1

Set up a dynamic redirect (regex) in Webflow

Webflow doesn’t support regex

Webflow doesn’t offer dynamic redirects (regex) yet.
So each redirect has to be added manually.

Possible alternatives

NeedSolution
Redirect a series of old URLsAdd multiple individual 301s
Complex redirectsUse Cloudflare or a reverse proxy
Redirect an entire folderNot possible natively

good to know

For Webflow sites with more than 100 redirects, Webflow recommends centralizing management through a reverse proxy to maintain performance.

Common mistakes to avoid

Formatting mistake

WrongRight
old-page/old-page
/blog/article/ (with trailing slash)/blog/article (clean version)

Redirect loop

Avoid:

  • A → B → A

  • A URL that redirects to itself

Too many redirects
