Description
Improve your website’s navigation and keep visitors happy with Creative Scroll to Top.
Long pages can be frustrating for users. This plugin adds a lightweight, interactive “Back to Top” button that makes returning to the header instant. Unlike basic scroll plugins, we offer 16 professionally designed styles ranging from minimal arrows to fun, gamified animations like launching rockets.
It also includes a Reading Progress Bar, giving your readers a clear visual indicator of how far they are down the page—perfect for blogs and long-form content.
Why use this plugin?
* Better UX: Saves users time and reduces friction.
* Lightweight: Loads assets only when needed to keep your site fast.
* Accessible: Fully keyboard navigable and screen-reader friendly.
🎨 16 Button Styles (No Coding Required)
We have organized styles into categories to fit any site design:
- Essential: Classic Arrow, Minimal Glass, Floating Bubble.
- Indicators: Progress Circle, Side Progress Bar.
- Fun & Animated: Rocket Launch, Magic Wand, Floating Bubble.
- Modern Effects: Neon Pulse, Holographic, Cosmic Sparkle.

- Reading Progress Bar: distinct vertical progress bar that fills up as the user reads.
- Smart Positioning: Place the button Bottom-Right, Bottom-Left, or Bottom-Center.

- Mobile Friendly: Works perfectly on phones and tablets.
