In Webflow, how can I redirect a user from a 404 page to another page after a brief delay?
To redirect a user from a 404 page to another page after a brief delay in Webflow, you can use custom code and JavaScript. Follow the steps below to implement this functionality:
Access your Webflow site and navigate to the page where you want to add the redirect.
Open the page settings panel by clicking on the gear icon in the top-right corner.
In the settings panel, select the "Custom Code" tab.
In the "Head Code" section, click on the "+ Add Code" button to add a new code block.
Add the following JavaScript code snippet within the code block:
<script> setTimeout(function() { window.location.href = "your-page-url"; }, 3000); // 3000 milliseconds delay (adjust as needed)</script>
Replace "your-page-url"
with the URL of the page you want to redirect users to.
- Save the changes you made in the settings panel.
Now, when a user lands on a 404 page, they will be automatically redirected to the specified page after the specified delay (in this example, 3 seconds).
Make sure to publish your changes in Webflow for the changes to take effect.
Note: Custom code and JavaScript should be used with caution and tested thoroughly. Be aware that overusing or poorly written code can potentially lead to issues with your site's functionality or performance.
