How to Delete a Page on Wix (and When to Hide It Instead)

Old offers, finished events, test pages and duplicate pages pile up on most Wix sites. Deleting them keeps your menu tidy and stops visitors landing on something out of date. It's a quick job in the Wix Editor, but a few pages behave differently, and a deleted page that people still link to can lose you visitors, so it's worth doing it the right way.

How to delete a page on Wix, step by step

1. Open your site in the Wix Editor.
2. Click Pages and Menu on the left of the editor.
3. Click the page you want to remove.
4. Click the More Actions icon (three dots).
5. Click Delete and confirm.
6. Click Publish so the change goes live on your site.

Wix removes the page from your site menu automatically when you delete it, so you don't need to edit the menu separately.

Pages that won't delete the normal way

Page	Why	What to do
Your homepage	A site must always have a homepage	Set another page as homepage first, then delete
Pages added by an app, like Blog, Stores or Bookings	The page belongs to the app	Delete the app instead, if you no longer need it
Essential store pages, like Cart or Product page	Your store needs them to work	They can't be deleted
Several pages at once	The editor deletes one page at a time	Repeat the steps for each page

The catch: deleting a page can break links and lose visitors

When a page is deleted, its web address stops working. Anyone who clicks an old link to it, from Google, from social media, from an email you sent months ago, lands on an error page instead. If the page had any traffic, that's a real loss. Before you delete, ask two questions: does anyone still visit this page, and is there a newer page that does the same job? If the answer to both is yes, set up a redirect from the old address to the new page in your site's SEO settings, so visitors and search engines are sent somewhere useful.

Hide the page instead of deleting it

If you might need the page again, like a seasonal offer or an event you run every year, hide it rather than deleting it. In Pages and Menu, click More Actions and choose Hide. Wix says hiding keeps the page accessible for future use without showing it in your site's navigation. To bring it back, click More Actions and choose Show.

Option	Page still exists?	Shows in menu?	Best for
Delete	No, it's gone	No	Pages you'll never need again
Hide	Yes	No	Seasonal or occasional pages
Duplicate, then edit	Yes, both	Your choice	Updating a page while keeping the old one

How to delete your homepage

1. In Pages and Menu, choose the page that should become your new homepage.
2. Click More Actions and choose Set as Homepage.
3. Now select the old homepage, click More Actions and choose Delete.
4. Publish.

Before you delete any page

• Check whether the page is linked from your menu, buttons or other pages, and update those links.
• Copy any text or images you might want to reuse.
• Check whether the page is used in an ad or an email campaign.
• Think about a redirect if the page had visitors.

Pages that confuse visitors are one of the quieter reasons people leave a site. My guide to website turn-offs that are easy to avoid covers the others.

Tidying up the rest of your Wix site

While you're in Pages and Menu, it's a good moment to rename pages so the names make sense, nest related pages as subpages, and hide anything that's still being built. A short, clear menu helps visitors find what they need and makes your site feel more professional.

Checking nothing else broke

After publishing, open your live site in a private browser window and click through the menu and any buttons that used to lead to the deleted page. Search your site's other pages for text links pointing to it, especially in blog posts and footers, which are easy to forget. Then type the old page address into your browser to check it either redirects to the right place or shows your site's error page, not something confusing.

If you use Google Search Console, keep an eye on it for a few weeks. It reports pages Google can no longer find, which is a quick way to spot any old links you missed.

My verdict

Deleting a page on Wix is Pages and Menu, More Actions, Delete, then Publish. Set a new homepage first if you're replacing it, delete the app rather than the page for Blog or Stores pages, and hide pages you might use again instead of deleting them. Most importantly, redirect any page that still gets visitors, so a tidy-up doesn't turn into lost enquiries.
