# “Static” sidebar?

 * I created a sidebar for my vertical navigation (with CSS).
 * The sidebar I created with css for the navigation, always has troubles loading.
   Everytime I open or reload a page, I first see the header and the page content(
   over the whole sreen), before the content jumps to the right, and the left sidebar
   with the menu shows up (that takes up to 2-3 seconds). This is the CSS I used
   for the sidebar.
 *     ```
       .is-left-sidebar {
           width: 20%;
       }
   
       .site-content .content-area {
           width: 80%;
       }
       ```
   
 * Im a noob, so I dont know that exactly. But I suppose, the header doesnt reload
   everytime. Is there a way, that the sidebar is handled the same way? So it doesnt
   reload everytime either? To make the sidebar to a “static” element of the whole
   website, like the header?

 * In that case can you duplicate the issue on a live staging site so we can try
   to help?
 * Or we can revisit the issue once the site is live.
 * Thanks!
