Q: How can I fix the issue where my hero image in my Webflow site initially stretches to 100% max width, but then shrinks to thumbnail size after a few seconds?
If your hero image in your Webflow site is initially stretching to 100% max width but then shrinking to thumbnail size after a few seconds, you can fix this issue by following these steps:
Identify the problem: The first step is to identify what is causing the issue. There are a few possible causes for this behavior, including incorrect settings in Webflow or conflicting custom code.
Review the image settings: Check the settings of your hero image element to ensure that it is set to the desired width and height. Make sure the image is set to "cover" or "contain" depending on your preference.
Adjust the parent element: If the hero image is not directly inside a section or container, it may be affected by its parent element's size. Make sure the parent element is set to the desired size and that it does not have any conflicting styles.
Check for conflicting custom code: If you have any custom code added to your site, particularly JavaScript code that may be affecting the image size, review it for any potential conflicts or errors. Disable or remove any code that may be causing the issue and test the site again.
Clear caches and test on different browsers/devices: Clear your browser cache and test the site on different browsers and devices to ensure that the issue is not specific to one browser or device. Sometimes, caching issues or browser-specific bugs can cause unexpected behavior.
Reach out to Webflow support: If the issue persists, despite following the steps above, it may be best to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance. They can help troubleshoot the issue and provide specific guidance based on your website's setup.
By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue where your hero image initially stretches to 100% max width but then shrinks to thumbnail size. Remember to test your site thoroughly after making any changes to ensure that the issue is fully resolved.
