Importing a website to an app: duration and considerations

At a glance

A community member is importing a 20-page website into an app, but the process has been slow, with only 15 pages imported after 30 minutes. The app still shows "importing", and the community member is concerned that shutting down their computer to move to a new location may affect the import process. Another community member assumes this is for the Webflow app and asks for a link to the project. The original community member confirms it is for Webflow, and shares that they deleted the pages and tried again, which worked. They wonder if the internet connection at the coffee shop played a part in the initial issue. A third community member mentions that an update has been pushed out (currently in review) to make the app UI more closely represent what's actually happening in the app.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the app to import a 20-page website? I have been importing the website for the last 30 minutes and it has only imported 15 pages, but it seems to have stopped. The app still says “importing”. I need to move to a new location and, therefore, shut down my computer, but I’m worried that it may affect the import process.

Hey I assume this is for the Webflow App? Could you share a link to the project?

Yes, it was for the Webflow App. I deleted the pages and tried again and it worked. I wonder if the internet connection played a part in it not working the first time. I was in a coffee shop.

Thanks for the update CW - we’ve pushed out an update (that’s currently in review) that makes the app UI more closely represent what’s actually happening in the app
