To ensure that the page load animation in Webflow only triggers once, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the element you want to animate on page load.
  2. In the Style panel, click on the "Add an interaction" button (the lightning bolt icon).
  3. In the interaction settings panel that appears, choose the "Page Load" trigger option.
  4. Customize the animation for the selected element using the available options like "Move," "Rotate," "Scale," etc.
  5. By default, Webflow sets the interaction to "Trigger Once." This means that once the animation plays, it won't trigger again if the page is revisited or reloaded.
  6. Preview the animation by clicking the "Preview" button in the top-right corner of the Designer.
  7. If you want to prevent the animation from repeating on a specific page or within a specific section, you can set a unique class or ID for that element and use custom code to disable the animation for that specific instance.
