Tested, Maintained, and Supported

Sticky Header Effects is actively maintained and backed by real support, with docs and live demos to get you set up fast. You get a reliable, responsive sticky header without writing or maintaining a single line of code.

Built Light, No Bloat

Performance is a feature. The effects run on a lightweight vanilla JavaScript engine that only does work when you actually enable a sticky effect on a header. No heavy libraries are forced onto every page, and nothing loads where it is not used. Your Core Web Vitals stay yours.

Live Demo

3. Dynamic Background Color Change

Auto Background Switching
Change your header background color on scroll to match different sections or maintain contrast.
Live Demo

4. Bottom Border Styling Effect

Subtle Section Separation
Add customizable borders below your sticky header for better definition and clean design.
Live Demo

5. Header Shrinking Effect

Reduce Header Height Dynamically
Shrink the entire header after scrolling to save space and focus attention on the page content.
Live Demo

6. Logo Shrinking Effect

Responsive Logo Transition
Shrink the logo proportionally during scroll, maintaining visual balance and brand presence.
Live Demo

7. Logo Color Change Effect

Switch Logo Color for Better Contrast
Automatically switch to a contrasting logo color on scroll based on background or user behavior.
Live Demo

8. Blur Background Effect

Add Modern Blur Transition
Enhance the visual flow by applying a subtle blur effect to the background of your sticky header.
Live Demo

9. Hide Header on Scroll Down Effect

Hide and Reappear on Scroll
Auto-hide the header when scrolling down and show it again on scroll up. Great for content-heavy pages.
Live Demo

10. Back to Top Button

Return to the Top in One Click
Add a floating Back to Top button that appears once the visitor has scrolled past a distance you set, then smooth scrolls back to the top. Position, size, radius, colors and edge offset are all yours.

11. Fix Anchor Scroll

Anchor Links That Land in the Right Place
Stop a sticky header from covering the section an in-page anchor link jumps to. The offset follows the real header height automatically, with an extra gap control and optional smooth scrolling that respects a reduced motion preference.
