There can be several reasons why reference images are not showing up on a page in Webflow. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. Incorrect Image File Path: If the image file path is incorrect, the browser will not be able to find and display the image. Double-check that the file path is accurate, including the folder structure and file name.

  2. Deleted or Moved Image Files: If the image files have been deleted or moved from their original location, they will not appear on the page. Make sure that the image files are still accessible and located in the correct folders.

  3. Incorrect Image URL: If you are using external images hosted on other websites, check that the image URLs are correct and still valid. If the URL has changed or the image has been removed from the host website, it will not be displayed on your page.

  4. CSS or JavaScript Conflicts: Sometimes, conflicts in the CSS or JavaScript code can cause images to not display properly. Check for any errors in the code and ensure that there are no conflicting styles or scripts that may be affecting the display of images.

  5. Slow Internet Connection: If the images are large in size or the internet connection is slow, it may take longer for the images to load. In such cases, the images may not appear immediately or may be partially displayed. Optimize your images for web and ensure a stable and fast internet connection for optimal image loading.

To troubleshoot and fix the issue with images not showing up on a webpage in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Check the file path or URL of the images to ensure they are correct.
  2. Confirm that the image files still exist and are in the correct location.
  3. Test different browsers or devices to see if the issue persists across all platforms.
  4. Review the CSS and JavaScript code for any potential conflicts or errors.
  5. Optimize image sizes and consider using a content delivery network (CDN) for faster loading.
  6. Clear the cache and reload the page to ensure you are viewing the most up-to-date version.

By following these steps and addressing the potential causes, you should be able to resolve the issue and have the reference images showing up correctly on your Webflow page.
