Can Webflow serve /llms.txt natively?

Not as an arbitrary root file. The practical options are to host the text elsewhere and 301-redirect /llms.txt to it, or to serve it from an edge worker (e.g. Cloudflare) in front of your Webflow site.

Redirect or edge worker — which is better?

A redirect is the quickest if you already host the text somewhere. An edge worker is the most robust: it serves /llms.txt directly at the canonical URL with the right content type and no redirect hop.

Does the file need to be plain text?

Yes — serve it as text/plain (Markdown content). An HTML page won't validate as an llms.txt, which is why hosting the raw file or using an edge worker matters.

Adding llms.txt to a Webflow site

Published: 2026-06-29

Webflow doesn't serve a plain-text file at the site root out of the box, but a couple of practical paths get a real llms.txt live at yourdomain.com/llms.txt.

Option 1 — Host the file + 301 redirect

Upload your llms.txt somewhere it serves as plain text (Webflow's asset manager, or any object storage / CDN). Then in Site settings → Publishing → 301 redirects, redirect the root path to it:

/llms.txt  →  https://cdn.example.com/llms.txt

A crawler requesting /llms.txt follows the redirect to your file. Simple, with no extra infrastructure if you already have somewhere to host the text.

Option 2 — A reverse proxy / edge (most robust)

If your Webflow site sits behind Cloudflare (or similar), serve /llms.txt directly from a small edge worker that returns your text with Content-Type: text/plain. This keeps the canonical root URL with no redirect hop — the cleanest result.

Make it discoverable

Either way, add a footer link to /llms.txt and, via custom code in the page <head>, a <link rel="alternate" type="text/plain" href="/llms.txt"> so crawlers find it from your pages.

Curate and validate

Keep the file short — a title, a one-line summary, and your most important pages under H2 headings, with absolute HTTPS links. Then paste your domain into the validator to confirm it's reachable and every link resolves.
