Why this matters

Webflow is a strong fit for proxy-free mode because it lets you add site-wide head code and template-level custom code without managing your own reverse proxy.

Where To Put The Global Tags

  • Open `Project Settings`.
  • Open `Custom Code`.
  • Paste the Legible global tags into the `Head Code` field.
  • Publish the project after saving.

Where To Put The Page-Level Markdown Tag

Add the Markdown `alternate` tag on the CMS template page so each item points to its own hosted Markdown URL.

<link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown" href="https://read.yourdomain.com/{{wf {&quot;path&quot;:&quot;slug&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;PlainText&quot;} }}.md" />

Verification

  • View source on a published CMS page and confirm the tags appear in raw HTML.
  • Check `llms.txt`, `ai-sitemap.json`, and one sample `.md` URL.
  • Confirm Legible reports `Origin discovery tags` as healthy.
