Is there a tool in Webflow to add a custom logo animation as a preloader for webpage loading, similar to pace.js?

Webflow does not have a built-in tool exactly like Pace.js, but it does allow you to create custom preloader animations, including animated logos, using Webflow Interactions and embedded custom code.

1. Use Webflow's Built-In Interactions for a Preloader

• Create a preloader div that sits above all page elements. Typically, this div contains your animated logo or loading icon.
• Use Webflow Interactions (IX2) to create an animation that fades out or slides away the preloader once the page finishes loading.
• Set the interaction to trigger on page load.

2. Include a Custom Animation (SVG or Lottie)

• You can use a Lottie animation for your logo and place it in your preloader element. Upload the Lottie file via Webflow's Lottie Element, and control it through interactions.
• Alternatively, import an inline SVG logo and animate it using Webflow’s native tools or CSS.

3. Simulate Pace.js Behavior with Custom Code

If you want a more sophisticated loader that reacts to actual page load progress (like Pace.js), you need to embed custom JavaScript manually.

• Upload your Pace.js file to the site or use a CDN.
• Add the script in your Page Settings → Before tag.
• Customize Pace.js via CSS to match your branding and logo.

4. Control Page Visibility and Overflow

• Add appropriate overflow: hidden rules to the body to lock scrolling while the preloader is shown.
• Make sure the preloader is removed or hidden once finished to resume page interaction.

Summary

You can create a custom animated logo preloader in Webflow using Interactions, Lottie, or custom JavaScript (like Pace.js). While Webflow doesn't have built-in load progress tracking, combining its native tools and minimal code offers full flexibility for on-brand preloaders.
