One common issue that often occurs with full page animations on Webflow is menu blinking or flickering before navigating to the actual page. This issue can be attributed to the way the animation is implemented and the loading time of the pages. However, there are several steps you can take to fix this problem:

  1. Preload your pages: Make sure to enable page preloading in the project settings. This helps to load the necessary assets and resources in advance, minimizing any delay when navigating between pages. To enable page preloading, go to the Project Settings panel, select the "Hosting" tab, and check the "Preload pages" option.

  2. Optimize your website: To reduce the loading time of your pages, optimize your website by compressing images, minifying CSS and JavaScript files, and removing any unnecessary code or elements. Use Webflow's built-in tools or external services to optimize and compress your assets.

  3. Use proper animations: Ensure that you are using smooth and optimized animations that do not cause excessive rendering or processing delays. Avoid using heavy animations or transitions that may slow down the loading time.

  4. Use Webflow's loading animations: Webflow provides loading animations that you can add to your project. These loading animations can help mask any delay that may occur during the page transition, thus minimizing the menu blinking or flickering effect. You can find these loading animations in the Add Elements panel.

  5. Implement custom animations: If you prefer to create custom loading animations, consider using Webflow's interactions and animations features. With these tools, you can design and customize your own loading animations that seamlessly transition between pages.

Overall, by implementing these solutions, you can effectively address the issue of menu blinking or flickering before going to the actual page in your full page animation on Webflow. Remember to test your website thoroughly to ensure a smooth and seamless user experience.
