What could be causing the issue with images not displaying consistently on mobile in a CMS project in Webflow?

There can be several reasons why images are not displaying consistently on mobile in a CMS project in Webflow. Here are a few possible causes and solutions:

  1. Image size and dimensions: Make sure the images you are using are optimized for the web and have appropriate dimensions for mobile devices. Large images can take longer to load, resulting in inconsistencies in displaying. Resize and compress the images using image editing software or online tools, then re-upload them to your Webflow project.

  2. Device-specific styles or breakpoints: Check if you have applied any device-specific styles or breakpoints that may be affecting the image display on mobile. Double-check your responsive settings for the affected images and ensure that the correct styles are being applied on different devices.

  3. Cache issues: Clear the cache on your mobile device to rule out any caching problems. Cached images may not refresh properly, resulting in inconsistencies in the display. Clearing the cache will force the device to retrieve the latest version of the images.

  4. Webflow settings: Verify your Webflow settings to ensure there are no restrictions or limitations on image display on mobile devices. Go to the project settings in Webflow and explore the various options available under the "Images" section to see if there's anything that may be impacting the image display on mobile.

  5. Network or connection issues: In some cases, slow network connections or intermittent connectivity problems can lead to images not displaying consistently on mobile. Test the website on different mobile devices, networks, and locations to see if the issue persists. If the problem only occurs under specific network conditions, it's likely a connectivity issue and not related to Webflow or your CMS setup.

By troubleshooting these areas, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with images not displaying consistently on mobile in your CMS project on Webflow.
