Yes, you can replace the subdomain used by Weglot with your own domain to improve your website's SEO on Webflow. By replacing the subdomain, you can have a more consistent and professional-looking URL structure for your website.

Here's how you can replace the subdomain used by Weglot with your domain in Webflow:

  1. Purchase and set up a domain: Before you can replace the subdomain, you need to have your own domain. Purchase a domain from a domain registrar of your choice and set it up to point to your Webflow website. You can find detailed instructions on how to do this in Webflow's documentation.

  2. Configure DNS settings: Once you have purchased your domain, you'll need to configure the DNS settings to point to Webflow's servers. This typically involves adding a CNAME record or an A record to your domain's DNS settings. Again, Webflow's documentation provides detailed instructions on how to do this.

  3. Replace the subdomain in Weglot settings: Once you have your domain set up and pointing to your Webflow website, you can go to your Weglot settings and replace the subdomain with your domain. This can usually be done by accessing your Weglot dashboard and navigating to the "Settings" or "Configuration" section. Look for an option to set your custom domain and enter your domain name there.

  4. Update links and references: After replacing the subdomain in Weglot, it's important to update any internal links and references to reflect the new domain. This includes updating links in your website's content, as well as any hardcoded links in your Webflow project.

By replacing the subdomain used by Weglot with your domain, you not only improve the SEO of your website but also create a more seamless user experience for your visitors. It ensures that all translated versions of your website are accessible under your own domain, contributing to a stronger brand presence and improving the overall professional appearance of your website.
