 * I am adjusting this theme and so far so good.
 * But this theme seems to have a loading glitch/jitter when going to different 
   pages or subcategories on the blog. It’s not a smooth loading. you always see
   a small movement loading glitch.
 * Is there a way to fix it? Or does anyone know why this is?
 * As comparison. Twenty-sixteen theme is very smooth when loading different pages/
   elements.
 * Thank you!

 * Can you show us a page with the issue? I couldn’t replicate the issue on the 
   theme’s demo site: [http://wp-themes.com/twentyseventeen/](http://wp-themes.com/twentyseventeen/)

 * I was testing again with the basic theme and I notice that when i activate the
   top-menu in customizing, I get this glitch when loading pages.
 * If top menu is deactivated the pages load smooth. just like your own example 
   on
    [http://wp-themes.com/twentyseventeen/](http://wp-themes.com/twentyseventeen/)
 * You get the same results?

 * I haven’t set the theme up unfortunately so I’ll need a link to your site with
   the top menu activated* .

 * Here you can also see it.
 * [http://2017.wordpress.net/contact/](http://2017.wordpress.net/contact/)
 * when clicking again on contact you see the page loading isn’t smooth.
    You get
   similar results when clicking on subitems (e.g. an archive from a blog).
 * However when the top menu isn’t activated loading an archive page of the blog
   is more smooth (like in [http://wp-themes.com/twentyseventeen/](http://wp-themes.com/twentyseventeen/))

 * When I look at that 2017.wordpress.net demo site, the issue appears to be caused
   by the banner image. It’s a large image and can take time to load. Though this
   should be fixable in CSS.

 * Try adding this Custom CSS:
 *     ```
       @media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
           .custom-header {
               min-height: 165px;
           }
       }
       ```

 * I have the same issue when installing the demo content on my own site. Everything
   is the same except for the top menu. If it’s off the pages load smooth. If it’s
   on the pages arent loading smooth.
 * Having a fullsize banner for your homepage is one of the core features of this
   theme, this should work optimal i would assume.
 * If it can be fixed with css, you know how?
 * Can the scrolling element also be responsible for this glitch?

 * Yes.
    I tried it and it worked! Great!
 * Also on my adjusted theme. no more glitch
 * However my adjusted template was a bit mixed up. I changed all features. Like
   menu bar on top, logo next to menubar etc.
    And with the min-height set, I got
   get an empty block under my menu. Setting the margin-bottom: 118px; to 0px did
   the trick to help that.

 * Sorry I’m not sure I understand, is this a different issue to the jitter?

 * Hi
    I have the same strange behavior and I had the CSS you said. Try switch between
   those 2 pages and you will see that the menu bar is “jumping” to the the top 
   and go back to its normal position:

 * [@pako69](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pako69/), There is JavaScript applying
   positioning on the menu, but the JavaScript is firing late enough that you can
   visually see an effect. Would you be able to create a new thread to discuss this?
