There could be several reasons why the images on a Webflow page are not appearing on mobile devices. Here are some potential causes and solutions to address this issue:

  1. Improper image optimization: If the images are not properly optimized for mobile devices, they may fail to load. Make sure to resize and compress images before uploading them to Webflow. You can use tools like Adobe Photoshop or online image compressors to reduce the file size without compromising image quality.

  2. Incorrect image element settings: Check if the image elements have the correct settings for mobile devices. In Webflow, it is possible to hide or show elements based on different device sizes. Ensure that the image elements are set to display correctly on mobile devices by adjusting the visibility settings.

  3. Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) issues: If the images are hosted on a different domain from your Webflow site, there might be CORS issues. In this case, the browser may block loading of the images, resulting in their non-appearance. To resolve this, modify the server settings to allow CORS or upload the images directly to Webflow.

  4. Lazy loading conflicts: If you are using a lazy loading technique on your Webflow site, it may be conflicting with the image loading on mobile devices. Disable lazy loading temporarily to see if the images appear correctly. If this is the issue, you might need to investigate and modify the lazy loading script to work properly with mobile devices.

  5. CSS or Javascript conflicts: Check if there are any CSS or Javascript conflicts on your website that are preventing the images from loading on mobile devices. Inspect the console log for any error messages related to image loading and address them accordingly.

  6. Network or server issues: It is possible that the images are failing to load due to network or server problems. Test the website on multiple mobile devices and internet connections to confirm if the issue persists. If so, reach out to Webflow support or your hosting provider for assistance.

In summary, troubleshooting image loading issues on mobile devices involves optimizing images, reviewing element settings, addressing CORS issues, dealing with lazy loading or script conflicts, and checking for network or server-related problems.
