How can I delay Google scripts from loading before the page content in Webflow?

To delay Google scripts from loading before the page content in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your Webflow project and go to the page where you want to delay the loading of Google scripts.

  2. Select the "Head" section of the page by clicking on the "Settings" icon in the left sidebar and then choosing "Head" from the dropdown menu.

  3. Inside the "Head" section, insert the following code snippet:

<script>  function loadScript(src, callback) {    var script = document.createElement('script');    script.src = src;    script.onload = callback;    document.body.appendChild(script);  }  // Add your Google script URL(s) and the callback function(s) to execute after the script is loaded  loadScript('https://www.google.com/script1.js', function() {    // Callback function 1  });  loadScript('https://www.google.com/script2.js', function() {    // Callback function 2  });</script>
  1. Replace 'https://www.google.com/script1.js' and 'https://www.google.com/script2.js' with the actual URLs of the Google scripts you want to load. You can add as many scripts as needed by repeating the loadScript function with the appropriate URL and callback function.

  2. Inside the callback functions, you can add the necessary functionality that relies on the loaded Google scripts. This ensures that they will only execute after the scripts have been fully loaded.

  3. Save and publish your Webflow project to see the delayed loading of the Google scripts in action.

By delaying the loading of Google scripts, you can ensure that your page content loads first, providing a better user experience and potentially improving your search engine rankings.
