How to add Scroll to Top to your website

Embed Scroll to Top on Your Website

01

Create a Scroll to Top widget for your website on Common Ninja

First, create a Scroll to Top widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Scroll to Top and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Scroll to Top widget

When you're done creating the Scroll to Top widget, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Scroll to Top Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Scroll to Top widget to your website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your website.

04

Paste the code to your Platform website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Platform website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Platform’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Scroll to Top Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Scroll to Top widget on your Platform website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Scroll to Top widget on your Platform widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Platform website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Scroll to Top widget to your Platform website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Platform website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Scroll to Top on long pages where you want getting back to the start to be quick and effortless. On content heavy pages, especially on mobile, scrolling upward for a long distance can feel frustrating and can interrupt the browsing flow. When a Scroll to Top button appears after someone scrolls down, it gives a clear shortcut back to the top navigation, search area, or primary section of the page. This keeps navigation simple and helps visitors continue exploring instead of stopping because the page feels too long. It works well for blogs, documentation, ecommerce catalogs, one page sites, and any layout built around multiple scrolling sections.
