What is Custom Code in Webflow?
Custom code in Webflow refers to HTML, CSS, or JavaScript added manually to a Webflow site to extend its functionality beyond what Webflow's native visual tools provide.
Despite being a no-code platform, Webflow offers several places to add custom code: Site-wide code (added in Project Settings under Custom Code, this code loads on every page — used for global scripts like Google Analytics, Hotjar, or chat widgets), Page-level code (added per page in Page Settings — used for page-specific tracking, schemas, or embedded tools), and HTML Embed element (a native Webflow element that can be placed anywhere on the canvas to inject HTML, CSS, or JavaScript inline within the page layout).
Common Uses
Common uses for custom code in Webflow include: third-party analytics and tracking pixels (GA4, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag), custom form handling or integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce forms), advanced animations with GSAP or Three.js (including WebGL), injecting structured data (JSON-LD schema markup), and embedding third-party widgets (Calendly, Intercom, LiveChat). It's also how tools like Finsweet Attributes are loaded.
