Learn how our team removes pages from Google after deleting them in Webflow.
You deleted a page in Webflow but it still shows up on Google. We will show you the exact steps to remove it.
Why does my deleted Webflow page still appear on Google?
Google keeps showing old pages until it re-crawls your site. This can take days or weeks.
How do I delete a page in Webflow?
Go to the Pages panel and click the trash icon next to the page.
Click "Delete" to confirm.
Unpublish the page if you want to keep it but hide it from visitors.
What status code should my deleted page return?
Your old URL must return a 404 error. This tells Google the page is gone.
Should I set up a redirect for my deleted page?
Yes, use Webflow's Redirects panel if you moved content to another page.
Go to Hosting > Redirects in your Webflow dashboard.
Add the old URL and new destination URL.
Click "Save changes."
How do I keep Google updated with my sitemap?
Keep Webflow's auto-sitemap turned on. Submit it to Google Search Console.
What if I need to remove a page urgently from Google?
Use the Removals tool in Google Search Console for temporary removal.
Go to Removals > Temporarily Remove URLs.
Enter your URL and submit your request.
How do I ask Google to re-crawl my site faster?
Request a re-crawl after making changes. This helps Google find updates sooner.
In Search Console, go to URL Inspection > Enter URL > Request Indexing.
