How to Use

Use Case
General-purpose Back to Top navigation for editorial, business, and content websites.
Technical Notes
Keep controls usable on touch devices. Test keyboard focus and reduced-motion preferences.
Mobile:Check tap target, visibility and positioning on small screens.
Browser:Designed for current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
Reduced Motion:CSS animations respect the reduced-motion preference.
