Yes, it is possible to redirect to the last visited page on Webflow after signing out. Here are the steps to achieve this:

  1. Create a sign-out button or link: Use the Webflow Designer to create a button or link that triggers the sign-out process when clicked.

  2. Add JavaScript code: In the Webflow Designer, go to the Project Settings and select the Custom Code tab. Add a new code block and paste in the following JavaScript code:

<script>  // Save the current URL to sessionStorage  sessionStorage.setItem('lastVisitedURL', window.location.href);</script>

This code saves the current URL to the browser's sessionStorage before the sign-out process begins.

  1. Redirect after sign-out: In the Webflow Designer, add a Redirect page to your project. This Redirect page will handle the logic to redirect the user to the last visited page.

  2. Modify the sign-out process: Depending on how you have implemented the sign-out process, you will need to modify it to redirect the user to the Redirect page. This can be done by using a JavaScript function or redirecting the user via a server-side script.

  3. Retrieve the last visited URL: In the Redirect page, use JavaScript to retrieve the last visited URL from sessionStorage. You can achieve this by adding the following code to your Redirect page:

<script>  var lastVisitedURL = sessionStorage.getItem('lastVisitedURL');  location.href = lastVisitedURL;</script>

This code retrieves the lastVisitedURL from sessionStorage and redirects the user to that URL.

With these steps, you can ensure that when a user signs out, they will be redirected to the last visited page on Webflow.
