Sticky Header Component in Magento 2

A sticky header is a feature that remains fixed at the top of the page, even as users scroll down. It typically contains important elements like the main menu, top links, shopping cart, and logo, ensuring easy access at all times. In a Magento 2 store, this sticky header enhances the shopping experience by displaying product details such as the name, image, price, and an add-to-cart option, no matter how far the user scrolls down the product page.

You can observe the sticky header feature in action on the Magento 2 Admin product management page, which provides continuous access to essential functionalities.

The Sticky Header Component keeps the header fixed at the top during user scrolling. This effect, known as "Sticky" is a popular setting for your website's header. With this component, tracking becomes easier, and customers can conveniently add products to their cart even while scrolling through product details. Specifically, as you navigate to the product management area, you will see the sticky header component in action.
