When I add the spline element, it hangs when the page loads. What can I do so that it doesn’t slow down the page speed?
If you are using a baked in implementation to handle Spline then you are going to get what you get. There are other approaches to implement Spline that involve custom code and advanced loading techniques that can be more performant.
Good solution but not exactly what I want. If I add it as code, I cannot interfere with the interaction.
I would love to hear more, as I have the same problem!
You can’t do much about it, spline (Webflow component) seems to always load 1,5 Mb, besides this, you can compress the spline in spline , make sure that the model and textures are optimized . And put a fancy preloader on the page. My page loads in about 1 second in best case, but sometimes the spline server is really slow, it can load up to 3 seconds . And Safari is way slower than for example chromium or Firefox browsers.
