Yes, Webflow can help you remove unused JavaScript and CSS to optimize your website's performance. This is important because unused scripts and styles can slow down your website by increasing the file size and causing unnecessary browser rendering. Webflow provides a feature called "Asset Manager" that allows you to manage your project's assets, including the removal of unused JavaScript and CSS.

To remove unused JavaScript and CSS in Webflow, follow these steps:

Open your project in the Webflow Designer.
In the top-right corner, click on the "Assets" tab to open the Asset Manager.
In the Asset Manager, you will see a list of all the JavaScript and CSS files used in your project.
Identify the files that are no longer used or needed. Unused files are typically those that are not referenced in your project's HTML or interactions.
To remove a file, simply click on the "X" icon next to it. Webflow will prompt you to confirm the deletion.
Once you have removed the unused files, click on the "Save" button to publish your changes.

By removing unused JavaScript and CSS files, you can improve your website's performance by reducing the overall file size and minimizing the time it takes for the browser to load and render the page.

Optimizing your website's performance in this way is beneficial for both user experience and search engine optimization. A faster-loading website can improve user engagement, decrease bounce rates, and boost conversions. Additionally, search engines like Google consider page speed as a ranking factor, so optimizing your website's performance can also help improve its visibility and organic search rankings.

In summary, Webflow provides a convenient Asset Manager feature that allows you to remove unused JavaScript and CSS, helping to optimize your website's performance and improve user experience.
