To add a delay to all links in Webflow without breaking the Webflow interactions, you can utilize custom code and CSS animations. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the custom code section.
  2. Click on the "Custom Code" tab in the project settings.
  3. In the "Head Code" section, insert the following CSS code:
<style>.link-animation {  animation-delay: 0.3s;}</style>
  1. Save the changes and exit the custom code section.
  2. Now go to your Webflow designer and select any link element on your page.
  3. In the element settings panel, navigate to the "Custom Attributes" section.
  4. Add a new custom attribute, with the name as class and the value as link-animation.
  5. Repeat this step for all the link elements on your page.

By following these steps, you have added a link-animation class to all the link elements on your page. This class has a CSS animation-delay property set to 0.3 seconds, which means that there will be a delay of 0.3 seconds before the link animates or takes any action.

Adding this delay to all the links in your project will not break any existing Webflow interactions. It will simply introduce a delay before the link action takes place. This can be useful if you want to create a more subtle and polished user experience.

Additional Tips:

  • You can adjust the delay duration by modifying the animation-delay value in the CSS code. For example, if you want a longer delay of 1 second, you can change it to animation-delay: 1s;.
  • If you have links in different sections on your page or in other pages, you need to repeat steps 5-8 in each location to apply the delay to all the links on your site.

By implementing the above steps, you can successfully add a delay to all links in Webflow without breaking any existing interactions.
