How can I prevent the loading of iframes on mobile devices in Webflow?

To prevent the loading of iframes on mobile devices in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add a custom code to the head tag of your Webflow project by going to Project Settings > Custom Code.

  2. In the Custom Code tab, locate the Add code before </head> section and click on the "+" icon to add a new code snippet.

  3. Inside the code snippet input field, you can use JavaScript to detect the user agent and conditionally prevent iframes from loading on mobile devices.

    ```javascript

    ```

    This code snippet uses regular expressions to detect if the user is accessing the site from a mobile device. If the condition is met, it will set the source of all iframes to "about:blank" and hide them.

  4. Save the changes and publish your site for the changes to take effect.

By implementing this solution, iframes on mobile devices will not be loaded, which can help improve the performance and user experience of your Webflow site on mobile devices.

Please note: This method uses JavaScript to detect the user agent, which is not always a foolproof method for identifying mobile devices. Some devices may have user agents that don't match the common patterns used in the regular expression. It's always recommended to thoroughly test your website on various mobile devices to ensure the desired behavior.
