This demonstrates a progressive blur header effect that creates a smooth transition at the top of the page.

The header uses backdrop-filter for the blur effect and a mask gradient to create the progressive fade. Scroll to see how the content smoothly transitions through the header.

The title remains sticky at the top, creating an elegant reading experience as you scroll through the content.

This technique is commonly used in modern web design to create depth and visual hierarchy without completely hiding the content below.

Try scrolling up and down to see how the blur effect works with the content flowing underneath.

The progressive blur creates a sophisticated visual hierarchy that guides the user's attention. As content scrolls beneath the header, it gradually fades from view, creating a natural transition that doesn't feel abrupt.

This effect is particularly useful for long-form content where you want to maintain context with a sticky header while not completely obscuring the content beneath it. The semi-transparent backdrop allows users to see what's coming next.

Implementation-wise, this uses modern CSS properties like backdrop-filter and mask gradients. The backdrop-filter applies the blur effect to everything behind the header element.

The mask gradient is key to creating the progressive fade. It transitions from fully opaque at the top to transparent at the bottom, making the blur effect fade out smoothly.

Browser support for these features is excellent in modern browsers. All major browsers support backdrop-filter, making this a safe technique to use in production applications today.

You can customize the blur amount, the gradient fade distance, and the header height to match your specific design requirements. Experiment with different values to find what works best for your use case.

Keep scrolling to see how the effect continues to work throughout the entire content area. Notice how the sticky title always remains visible while the body text flows smoothly underneath the blurred header.
