To resolve the issue of your website link not loading the image when added to your LinkedIn profile in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Check the image file: Ensure that the image you are trying to load is in the correct format (e.g., JPEG, PNG, GIF) and that it is not corrupted or damaged. You can try opening the image on your computer to verify its integrity.

  2. Optimize the image: Large image file sizes can sometimes cause issues with loading on certain platforms. Use an image optimization tool or software to compress the image size without compromising its quality. This will help improve the loading speed of the image.

  3. Use a CDN: Consider using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to ensure your images load quickly and efficiently. A CDN works by distributing your website's static files, including images, across multiple servers worldwide. This helps reduce latency and allows for faster delivery of your content.

  4. Update the image source URL: Double-check that the image source URL in your Webflow project is correct and accurately pointing to the image file. Make sure there are no spelling errors or missing characters in the URL.

  5. Whitelist the image URL on LinkedIn: LinkedIn may sometimes block certain image URLs for security reasons. If you have verified that the image source URL is correct, reach out to LinkedIn support and request them to whitelist the image URL. This will ensure that LinkedIn allows the image to be displayed on your profile.

  6. Test on different platforms and devices: Check if the image is loading correctly on different platforms (e.g., desktop, mobile) and devices (e.g., Windows, iOS). This will help identify if the issue is specific to LinkedIn or if it is a broader problem with the image or Webflow settings.

It's worth mentioning that sometimes changes to your LinkedIn profile (including image updates) may take a few minutes or even hours to reflect. Therefore, it's a good idea to wait a bit and refresh your LinkedIn profile after making any changes to see if the image starts loading properly.
