Easy Tech TutsHow to Link Pages in Webflow Easily 2026
By Impran M N
A clean internal linking structure matters for both user experience and search discoverability. Webflow's native link settings let you connect text, buttons, and link blocks to internal pages, page sections, or external URLs without writing any code. This guide covers the core linking workflow and a few performance options along the way.
01Select the element to link
Click the text, button, or image block you want to turn into a link.
02Open Element Settings
Click the Gear icon in the right sidebar, or press D, to open the Link Settings panel.
03Choose the Page link type
In the Link Settings block, select the Page tab to link to an internal page rather than an external URL.
04Pick your destination
Use the page dropdown or the inline search field to choose the exact page you want the element to link to.
05Set extra behaviors and publish
Enable Open in New Tab for outbound or file links, optionally set Prefetch for performance, then publish your site to make the change live.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between linking to a Page versus a Section?
A Page link takes visitors to a whole new page, while a Section link acts as an anchor tag that jumps to a specific part of the current page.
Should I always open links in a new tab?
Only for external sites or downloadable files — internal page links usually work better staying in the same tab for smoother navigation.
What does the Prefetch option do?
It background-caches the linked page's assets so it loads faster once the visitor actually clicks through.
Can I link text within a paragraph, not just whole blocks?
Yes, double-click into a paragraph, highlight the specific text, and use the floating Insert Link icon to link just that phrase.
