To prevent a loading circle from appearing in the middle of the hero section of a website created in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the loading circle component: In Webflow, loading circles are typically used as preloader animations to indicate that the page is still loading. They are often placed in the middle of the page or over important content like the hero section.

  2. Remove or hide the loading circle component:

  • If you want to completely remove the loading circle from your website, you can locate the loading circle component in the Webflow Designer and delete it. This will ensure that it doesn't appear anywhere on your website.
  • If you want to keep the loading circle but prevent it from appearing specifically in the hero section, you can use the Webflow Designer to adjust the positioning or visibility of the loading circle component. For example, you can move it away from the hero section or hide it using the display property.
  1. Adjust the page load interactions:
  • In Webflow, you can create interactions that are triggered on page load. These interactions can be used to control the appearance or behavior of elements, including the loading circle.
  • If the loading circle is part of an interaction, you can modify the interaction settings to exclude the hero section. You can do this by selecting the loading circle component, navigating to the Interactions panel, and adjusting the trigger or target elements in the interaction settings.
  1. Publish and test your website: After making the necessary modifications, save your changes and publish your website to see the updated version without the loading circle in the middle of the hero section.

By following these steps, you can easily prevent a loading circle from appearing in the middle of the hero section of a website created in Webflow. Remember to save your changes and test your website after making any modifications.
