Get extra control of your Wix site by using Page Settings. This is the engine-room of your website; allowing you to decide how site visitors and search engines view your pages.
From Page Settings, you can manage your Search Engine Optimization (SEO), allow VIPs access to your private pages, control Social Share settings for your social media accounts...and much more.
How do I access my page settings?
Your Page Settings are organized under several tabs. Learn what you can do under each tab below.
Page Info tab
Manage your page's general settings from the Page Info tab. You can choose a different name for your page, make it your homepage and manage how frequently this page should be
cached.
To edit the Page info tab:
- Go to your editor.
- Click Pages & Menu
the left side of the editor. - Click the More Actions
icon on the page you want to work on. - Click Settings.
- Click Page info.
- Choose what you want to do:
Rename the page
Hide the page from the menu
Make the page your homepage
Manage the page's caching settings
What's cache rendering?
Caching helps
speed up your page's loading time. We recommend keeping the automatic caching for your site's homepage and about page, but not for pages that include widgets (e.g., Store Shopping Cart, Bookings Widget).
Layout tab
Change the header & footer layout for a specific page. Occasionally, you may want to alter this layout for a page that is still under construction, displaying a single image or other reasons.
To remove the header and footer from a specific page, click
No Header & Footer in the
Layout tab.
To edit the Layout tab:
- Go to your editor.
- Click Pages & Menu the left side of the editor.
- Click the More Actions icon on the page you want to work on.
- Click Settings.
- Click Layout.
- Select an option for this page's layout:
- Standard: The page includes a header and a footer, as usual.
- No header & footer: The page does not show a header nor a footer. This option is mainly recommended for landing pages.
Note: This means your site menu won't appear on this page, nor will any other apps you otherwise show in the header and footer. You will, therefore, need to add a navigation link back to your homepage.
Access tab
Create a private page to share with only those who want to see it.
Apply permissions by giving your page password protection. Alternatively, add pages to a Members Only area for your VIPs or paying customers. You can also
create member roles and restrict certain pages to specific roles.
To edit the Permissions tab:
- Go to your editor.
- Click Pages & Menu the left side of the editor.
- Click the More Actions icon on the page you want to work on.
- Click Settings.
- Click Access.
