That doesn’t make any sense. Would you please link to what you’re referring to?
Generally a “fixed page” refers to static content that rarely changes, like an About or Contact page.
And generally a “responsive website” refers to a site that adapts/changes when viewed on a mobile device.
If you have static pages that are not adapting to mobile devices, then the problem is your site’s theme, not your site’s content type.
thanks ,
this is the site I am working on :https://webdesignleren.com/
I made the header fixed . I was few days ago was studying elementor and I wanted to made fixed header just as my website and the elementor gave me warning that fixed headers are not preferred for responsive website.
I wanted to know why it is not preferred?
thanks

Ah, ok, yes, then that is accurate. 🙂
Fixed headers take up a lot of valuable screen space on mobile.
Here’s a screenshot of your site on a simulated iPhone 12: https://d.pr/i/5VnMni
While trying to browse/read the site, a good 15% of my screen is occupied by a menu I’ve already read, which means more time scrolling, and that means more people straight-up leaving the site.
When the responsive site scales down to its mobile version, the header should either not be fixed or it should be presented as a fixed icon that expands/collapses the menu.
I’m sure Elementor can do that, and I recommend asking about that at
thanks ,
I am bussy at this moment with media queries . my site is not completed yet. I see everything in chrome ,firefox,edge,opera
I don’t want to be depended by third party . when later I start building websites the customer wil not prefer to be depended by third party.
I am trying to do everything myself . I have my friend now chatGPT .
I wil study your advice about fixed header maybe I remove it.
thanks for your advice
