Creating a Smart Sticky Header for AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) requires using AMP-compliant components, as AMP restricts custom JavaScript. However, you can still achieve sticky header functionality using AMP’s built-in features, such as CSS and AMP components that support dynamic behavior without violating AMP's strict guidelines.

What is a Smart Sticky Header?

A Smart Sticky Header is a header that remains visible at the top of the page as the user scrolls down. Unlike a simple sticky header, a "smart" version may have additional behaviors such as:

Changing appearance (e.g., shrinking the header or changing its color).
Showing or hiding based on scrolling direction (e.g., hiding on scroll down and showing on scroll up).
Becoming sticky only after a certain scroll distance.

Solution: Smart Sticky Header in AMP

AMP doesn’t support the use of JavaScript for custom behaviors (like scroll events), but we can use CSS and AMP’s built-in components like amp-sticky-ad or simple CSS for achieving sticky header functionality. Here's how you can implement a sticky header that reacts smartly to scrolling in an AMP-compliant way.

Simple Sticky Header Using CSS (Sticky on Scroll)

This is the most basic method of creating a sticky header. It will remain at the top of the page while the user scrolls down, but there won't be any "smart" behavior like showing or hiding dynamically. You can add additional styles to enhance its appearance.

Explanation:

Position Sticky: The header is made sticky using position: sticky with top: 0, ensuring it stays fixed at the top as the user scrolls.
Z-index and Box Shadow: These are added to ensure the header stays on top of other content and looks visually distinct.
No JavaScript: This method does not use any JavaScript, which complies with AMP's requirements.

2. Smart Sticky Header with CSS Transitions (Shrink and Stick)

To create a "smart" sticky header that shrinks when the user scrolls down, you can use CSS transitions combined with a fixed position. While AMP does not allow custom JavaScript for dynamic behaviors, CSS transitions can be used for visual effects. This effect works by adjusting the header's size or appearance as the user scrolls.

Example of Shrinking Sticky Header:

Explanation:

CSS Transitions: This code uses transition to smoothly animate the changes in padding and font size.
Shrinking Effect: When the header becomes sticky, its padding and font size decrease to give a "shrinking" effect. This is controlled entirely via CSS, so it's AMP-compliant.

However, AMP doesn't support the use of scroll events to dynamically detect when the page is scrolled. To make this work fully dynamically (such as adding or removing the .shrink class when the user scrolls down), you'd need custom JavaScript, which AMP doesn’t allow. But you can simulate a shrinking effect by defining the behavior of the header before the page load.

3. Alternative: Using AMP Components (AMP Sticky Ad)

While AMP Sticky Ads are not the same as sticky headers, they can be a good starting point to create a sticky element. The <amp-sticky-ad> component can be used to make an element stick to the top of the page once the user scrolls past it. This component is typically used for ads, but you can adapt it for a sticky header.

Conclusion:

Creating a smart sticky header in AMP is possible with the following methods:

Use CSS position: sticky to create a simple sticky header.
Enhance it with CSS transitions to simulate a shrinking or appearance-changing header when the user scrolls.
Leverage AMP components like amp-sticky-ad to make elements sticky as the user scrolls.

While AMP limits the use of JavaScript, you can still create a functional and visually appealing sticky header that improves user experience while ensuring compliance with AMP's performance standards.
