The "Lost in Long Content" Problem

😤 The Scenario

  • • You write comprehensive 3,000-word guide
  • • Covers everything: beginner basics to advanced tips
  • • Reader searches "how to do X" (advanced topic)
  • • Lands on your article
  • • Scrolls... scrolls... can't find the specific section
  • • Bounces. Goes to competitor with clear navigation. You lose.

📊 The Data

  • 55% of visitors spend less than 15 seconds on a page
  • • Long articles without TOC have 62% higher bounce rate
  • • Articles with TOC see 40% increase in time on page
  • • Google shows jump links in SERPs = 25% higher CTR
  • • TOC isn't decoration. It's retention.

🤔 The Reader's Mindset

Reader arrives at your 3,000-word article:

  • With TOC: "Perfect! Section 4 has exactly what I need." [Clicks. Reads. Converts.]
  • Without TOC: "Ugh, wall of text. Where's my answer? Screw this." [Bounces.]

TOC = roadmap. Readers trust they'll find answers. They stay.

✓ The Solution

Automatic table of contents on long content. Readers see structure immediately. Click to navigate. Find answers fast. Stay longer. Engage more. Convert better. Plus: Google shows TOC as jump links in search results. Highlander generates TOC automatically from your headings.

TOC Implementation Styles

Sidebar TOC

Sticky navigation sidebar. Remains visible while scrolling. Highlights current section. Best for desktop, long articles.

✓ Advantages

  • • Always visible—no scrolling back up
  • • Visual progress indicator
  • • Shows full article structure
  • • Professional documentation feel

Best For:

Guides, documentation, tutorials, long-form content (2000+ words)

Desktop Default: Highlander uses sidebar TOC for wide screens

Mobile TOC

Collapsible accordion at top or floating button. Expands on demand. Saves screen space. Mobile-optimized.

✓ Mobile Optimization

  • • Doesn't consume precious screen space
  • • Tap to expand, see structure
  • • Smooth scroll to section
  • • Floating button always accessible

Best For:

Mobile users, small screens, responsive articles

Mobile Default: Collapsible header + floating button

Responsive & Adaptive

Highlander automatically chooses optimal TOC style based on screen size. Desktop: sidebar. Mobile: collapsible. Tablet: your choice. One implementation, perfect UX across all devices.

How Automatic TOC Generation Works

1

Scan Headings

Highlander scans your markdown/HTML for heading tags (H2, H3, H4). Detects hierarchy. Understands structure.

# H1: Article Title
## H2: Main Section
### H3: Subsection
## H2: Another Section
2

Generate Anchors

Creates unique ID for each heading. URL-friendly slug. Example: "How To Install" → #how-to-install

Heading: "Getting Started with Setup"
Anchor ID: #getting-started-with-setup
Full URL: yoursite.com/guide#getting-started-with-setup
3

Build Navigation Tree

Creates nested list structure. Maintains hierarchy. H2 → top level. H3 → nested under H2.

1. Introduction
2. Main Topic
   2.1 Subtopic A
   2.2 Subtopic B
3. Conclusion
4

Inject Interactive TOC

Renders TOC with smooth scroll, active highlighting, progress tracking. Updates as user scrolls. Always accurate.

Zero manual work. Write headings normally. TOC generates automatically. Update content? TOC updates. Always synchronized.

SEO Benefits: Jump Links in Google

Google uses your TOC to create "jump links" in search results. Your listing gets multiple clickable section links. Takes more SERP space. Higher CTR.
