86 Quality Score

Active Installs

24/30

With roughly 200,000 active installs, WPFront Scroll Top is one of the more widely used scroll plugins in the directory, though the popularity score of 79 reflects it is dominant rather than category-leading.

Update Freshness

25/25

A maintenance score of 100 and a last-updated timestamp of May 2026 indicate the developer is actively shipping updates well past initial release.

User Rating

15/15

The user rating of 100/100 from 142 reviews is a perfect score, though the relatively small sample of 142 means it is encouraging but not statistically deep.

Support Health

8/15

Zero reported support threads on the WordPress.org forum is unusual and points to either a problem-free plugin or limited forum engagement from the author, leaving support health uncertain at 50.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Tested against WordPress 7.0 with a 5.3 minimum and PHP 7.2, the compatibility profile is broad enough to cover essentially every modern WordPress install.

What It Does

WPFront Scroll Top adds a small 'back to top' button that appears once a visitor scrolls down a page, then smoothly scrolls the viewport back to the top when clicked. It is highly configurable, letting you change the button size, position, image, colours, and the scroll behaviour (instant or smooth). It is a single-purpose utility that runs on the front end with minimal footprint.

Who It's For

This plugin is a good fit for content-heavy WordPress sites such as blogs, news outlets, long-form articles, documentation portals, and ecommerce product pages where users frequently scroll deep and benefit from a quick way back to the top. It is especially useful on mobile-heavy traffic where users have less patience for swiping back up. Site owners who want a set-and-forget widget with no coding will appreciate its out-of-the-box behaviour.

Who Should Skip It

If your site only has short pages or already includes a back-to-top control via your theme or page builder, installing this adds duplicate UI and unnecessary script weight. Developers building highly custom front-ends will likely prefer to roll their own or use a lighter inline snippet.

The Bottom Line

WPFront Scroll Top delivers exactly what it promises, a customisable back-to-top button with a smooth scroll option, and the perfect 100/100 rating across 142 reviews backs that up. The only real concern is the absence of any forum activity, which makes long-term support a slight unknown. For most site owners it is a safe, lightweight install that does the job without touching the rest of the site.
