Opening all external links in new tabs on a Webflow site

Based on each specific case, you may sometimes prefer to open external links in new tabs. If you find that you want most or all of them to open in new tabs, you may prefer to make it a rule and save time by only adding exceptions to it.

This guide will help you quickly and easily make this behavior the default, while also making links nofollow and noreferrer.

To make all external links open in new tabs on your Webflow site, we’re going to use MemberScript #122 – Open External Links in New Tab. Follow the link to get the code you’ll need to add to your page (or entire site) and watch a video tutorial on how to set everything up.

Literally all you have to do to make this work is add our custom code to your site (before the closing body tag) and that’s it - external links will now automatically open in new tabs.

By default, our code will also make all external links nofollow and noreferrer. To disable any of these, simply comment out the relevant line of code or delete it entirely.

Adding exceptions

If you ever want to make an exception for a link, all you need to do is add the following attribute to it:

· ms-code-ext-link=”ignore”
