How can I delay the loading of Google's recaptcha code in Webflow until a user reaches the form, specifically on form pages and not the entire website, in order to improve website speed?

To delay the loading of Google's reCAPTCHA code in Webflow until a user reaches the form, you can use JavaScript to load the reCAPTCHA code dynamically when the form becomes visible on the page. This approach reduces the initial page load time since the reCAPTCHA code will only be loaded when necessary.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

1. First, add the reCAPTCHA code to your Webflow project. You can do this by following Google's documentation for adding reCAPTCHA to your site. Remember to grab the necessary site key and secret key for your reCAPTCHA implementation.

2. Once you have the reCAPTCHA code generated, go to the page where your form resides in the Webflow Designer.

3. In the Designer, select the form element, and give it a unique class name in the "Settings" panel on the right-hand side.

4. Next, you'll need to add custom code to your project. Go to the "Project Settings" in the Webflow Designer.

5. In the "Custom Code" tab, add the following JavaScript code inside the "Footer Code" section:

```javascript

```

6. Replace `'.your-form-class'` in the JavaScript code with the actual class name you assigned to your form in step 3. Make sure to include the dot (.) prefix before the class name.

7. Save your changes. The reCAPTCHA code will now be loaded dynamically only when the form becomes visible on the page.

By following these steps, you can efficiently delay the loading of Google's reCAPTCHA code until the user reaches the form, thus improving the overall speed and performance of your website.
