Smart Sticky Header for AMP is an official extension of the AMPforWP ecosystem that adds smart sticky header functionality to Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) of WordPress sites. Its purpose is to keep the main navigation always accessible during the scrolling experience on mobile devices, improving usability and reducing friction in shopping and reading journeys.
The operation is elegant and automatic: when the user scrolls down, the header slides off the screen to maximize content space; when scrolling up, the header reappears instantly, offering immediate access to the menu, search bar, shopping cart, or any key navigation element. This smart behavior optimizes visual space without sacrificing accessibility, something especially valuable on small screens.
Installation is plug and play: once activated, the plugin automatically detects the existing header structure and applies the sticky behavior without requiring manual configuration or technical knowledge. It is activated from the AMP options panel in the WordPress dashboard with a single click, and works with any theme compatible with AMP for WordPress.
Its main benefits include:
This plugin is ideal for online stores, long-form content blogs, campaign landing pages, and corporate sites that prioritize speed and mobile experience. By keeping the header visible at all times, it reinforces brand identity, facilitates user decision-making, and contributes to smoother, goal-oriented navigation in WordPress projects optimized for AMP.
