Module description
Would you like to add a Scroll to Top button to WordPress without editing your theme? Back to Top is a free WordPress plugin that displays a customizable floating arrow after visitors scroll down a page. One click takes them smoothly back to the top.
A simple navigation improvement for long pages
A back-to-top button is particularly useful on long blog posts, FAQs, service pages, business websites and shops. It provides an easy shortcut to the page header, particularly on mobile devices. It is an accessibility-conscious convenience, not a guarantee of SEO ranking improvements.
Customize your WordPress back-to-top button
Everything is managed in the WordPress administration area:
- Turn the button on or off.
- Show or hide the button on mobile screens (767 px and narrower).
- Choose the scroll threshold from 0 to 3,000 pixels.
- Select separate background and arrow colors.
- Choose a circular or rounded-square design.
- Adjust button size between 40 and 80 pixels.
- Position the button at the bottom right or bottom left.
- Fine-tune horizontal and vertical spacing, from 0 to 300 pixels.
The live preview updates before saving and can simulate desktop or mobile display. You can match your WordPress theme and avoid collisions with other floating interface elements.
Smooth scrolling without complicated setup
The lightweight frontend script does not depend on jQuery. Clicking the button returns visitors to the top with smooth scrolling, while honoring the browser's reduced-motion preference. The hidden control is excluded from keyboard navigation until it becomes visible.
