What could be causing my Webflow portfolio website to automatically scroll to a certain point when opening the exported site, without any anchor links attached to the URL in the browser?

If your Webflow portfolio website is automatically scrolling to a certain point when you open the exported site, without any anchor links attached to the URL in the browser, there could be a few possible causes for this behavior. Here are a few things you can look into:

1. Custom code: Check if you have any custom code added to your website that might be triggering automatic scrolling. It could be JavaScript code that listens for specific events or scroll animations that are set to trigger when the page loads.

2. Interaction triggers: Webflow's Interactions feature allows you to create animations and interactions triggered by various events. Make sure that you don't have any interactions set to trigger on page load that might be causing the automatic scrolling. Check the Interactions panel and look for interactions associated with the element causing the scroll.

3. Fixed position elements: If you have any elements on your site that are set to be fixed position (e.g., navbar), they might interfere with the scrolling behavior. Ensure that you have set the correct positioning for these elements and that they are not causing unintended scrolling effects.

4. Section settings: In Webflow, each section can have specific settings that affect its behavior, including scroll into view and scroll out of view animations. Double-check the section settings and any associated animations to ensure they are not causing the automatic scrolling.

5. Browser-specific issues: Sometimes, the browser itself may have certain behaviors that interfere with the scrolling. Test your website on different browsers to see if the issue is browser-specific. Additionally, check the browser's developer tools console for any JavaScript errors that might provide more insight into the issue.

6. Webflow bug: While rare, it's possible that the issue could be caused by a bug in the Webflow platform itself. If you have eliminated all other potential causes, you may want to reach out to the Webflow support team and provide them with detailed information about the issue, including steps to reproduce it.

By investigating these potential causes, you should be able to identify the source of the automatic scrolling behavior and take the necessary steps to resolve it.
