To manage loading a JavaScript code that is over 1000 characters and only load it on specific pages in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the JavaScript code: Take your JavaScript code and minify it to reduce its size as much as possible. There are online tools available, such as UglifyJS or JSMin, that can help with this task. Minifying your code removes unnecessary characters, comments, and spaces, resulting in a smaller file size.

  2. Host your JavaScript code: Upload the minified JavaScript file to a hosting service or server where you can store your assets. Make sure the hosting service allows you to retrieve the file using a direct URL.

  3. Add custom code to Webflow: In your Webflow project, open the Designer and navigate to the page(s) where you want to load the JavaScript code.

  4. Open the page settings: In the right sidebar, click on the gear icon to access the page settings.

  5. Add custom code to the page: Scroll down to the "Custom Code" section and choose "Footer Code". Insert the following code snippet, replacing YOUR_JS_URL with the actual URL of your hosted JavaScript file:

<script src="YOUR_JS_URL"></script>
  1. Save and publish the changes: Click on the "Publish" button in the top right corner to make your changes live.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage loading a JavaScript code that is over 1000 characters and restrict its inclusion to only specific pages in Webflow. This helps you optimize your site's performance by loading only the necessary code on each page.
