Why doesn't the Page Load Animation work when I click on the associated links in Webflow?

There are a few reasons why the Page Load Animation might not work when you click on associated links in Webflow. Let's go through some troubleshooting steps to help you identify and resolve the issue:

1. Check the Interaction settings: Make sure you have properly set up the Page Load animation for the specific element or elements you want to animate. Check the trigger and animation settings to ensure everything is configured correctly. Pay attention to the class names, triggers, and animations you have assigned.

2. Verify the links: Double-check that the associated links are set up correctly. Ensure that the links are pointing to the right pages or sections within your website. Also, confirm that these links have the appropriate classes or interactions assigned. Sometimes, issues occur when the links are not associated correctly.

3. Check for conflicting interactions: If you have other interactions on your page, there may be conflicts between different interactions. For example, if you have a link with a Page Load animation, but you also have a separate scroll-based animation on the same element, these interactions could interfere with each other. Be sure to check for any conflicting interactions and adjust them accordingly.

4. Test in Preview or Publish mode: The Page Load animation may not be visible in the Webflow Designer, depending on your settings. To accurately test the animation, use the Preview or Publish mode to see how it behaves in a live environment. Sometimes, the animation appears to be not working in the Designer but functions as expected when viewed on the actual website.

5. Check for browser compatibility: Certain animations or interactions may work differently across different web browsers. Test your site in different browsers (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) to see if the Page Load animation works consistently. If you notice discrepancies, you may need to adjust the animation or use browser-specific CSS properties to ensure compatibility.

6. Review any custom code or JavaScript: If you have custom code or JavaScript integrated into your Webflow project, it's possible that it could interfere with the Page Load animation. Check for any code snippets or custom JS functions that may be affecting the animation and modify or remove them if necessary.
