Frequently Asked Questions
Where should the progress bar appear?
Top of viewport is most common, often below a fixed header. It's unobtrusive while being visible. Bottom placement works but may conflict with mobile browser UI.
Does this affect scroll performance?
The generated code uses efficient scroll event handling with requestAnimationFrame. It won't cause jank or slow scrolling even on long pages.
Can I show progress for specific sections?
By default, it tracks full page scroll. You can configure it to track scroll within a specific container, useful for articles within complex layouts.
