Have you visited some blogs and noticed a button near the foot or that you can click on to go back to the top of the page? This could be done with coding but I prefer a plugin anyway as some of these plugins have some really cool features and look great. Save your visitors time scrolling up and down your blog post by adding a simple button via a back to top plugin. If you write long blog posts then this feature should be included on your blog.
With that being said, below are 6 plugins that I would recommend:
7 Back to Top Plugins For WordPress
1. Back To Top
The Back To Top plugin a simple plugin that still works even though it has not been updated in a long time. You do have a choice of images to use for the button itself.
2. To Top
This is one of the more customizable back To Top button plugins with a ton of options. Explore the plugins screenshots.
3. Go Back To Top
The GP Back To Top is a very new plugin with not many downloads but it looks very promising and you should give this one a shot first.
4. CRUDLab Scroll to Top
Something to love about this plugin is that the 2 notable features are 15 different icon designs and the Ability to place the icon left or right. Check out the CRUDLab Scroll to Top plugin and view the screenshots.
5. Jquery Smooth Scrool
WPOutcast used to use this back to top plugin on a previous theme. The jQuery Smooth Scroll is a simple and lightweight plugin. I didn’t want anything fancy on the blog, just a button to do the job.
6. Back to Top Button – Easy Button
The Back to Top Button – Easy Button is a cool plugin. You have some tools to design your own button which you should make it match your theme colors or make it bright pink.
7. Brozzme Scroll Top
The Brozzme Scroll Top plugin is a new plugin with 80+ installs as of 4/24/2017 but will defiantly go up. Key points are it’s a lightweight plugin that will not effect page speed that adds a back to top button on all posts/pages. Not many features at this time but the plugin is new and I am sure the developer will continue to update this plugin as more and more feedback is provided by whom install it.
This plugin is powered by jQuery which makes it a light plugin to install.
My Final Thoughts
Besides adding a shortcut to the top of the page, Optimizing Comments is something that you need to get right. Have you made all the changes I mentioned in that tutorial?
If this blog post was helpful in any way, please consider sharing it online with your followers. Spread the word that you can save on getting blisters and just click a button to get back to the top of the blog.
Hi there Derek,
The go back button is so useful nowadays in websites.
I’m choosing the first plugin “Back To Top” since it is very simple, and I think it won’t effect my speed website.
Keep up the good work, and bring these type of blogs, for overall WordPress.
Regards, Clay.

back to the top is the best plugin.God bless you keep it up
