💡If you like Scroll Buddy, tell a friend! If not, please share feedback / ideas here.
Improve website user metrics:
- Scroll depth
- Time on page
- Dwell time
Note: if you do NOT SEE Scroll Buddy, you may have "reduce motion" turned on (accessibility setting on your browser or device). Scroll Buddy is auto-hidden to respect that.
Warning: An embedded example on the side of this page (stick figure walking) has an animation / movement that may be problematic for some readers. Readers with vestibular motion disorders may wish to enable the reduce motion feature on their device before viewing the animation. If you have reduce motion settings turned on Scroll Buddy should be hidden on most browsers.
