Elements of the "Advanced banner"
### SEO & Pagespeed
In the tab "SEO & Pagespeed" you can configure the HTML tag for the headline and the subheadline.
### Advanced
You can select each HTML element of our banners using the appropriate CSS classes. If you want to use your own CSS classes, you can insert them in the "Advanced" tab.
***
## Scroll effects
By being able to fix the image (= background image) you can achieve a simple parallax effect, which creates a certain sense of depth when scrolling the page
### Parallax effect
In addition, you can activate a JavaScript managed parallax effect. This effect is available when the background image is fixed.
If a CMS element with an activated parallax effect is used in a Shopping Experience, an additional JavaScript plugin is loaded which manages the effect.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: As this effect requires the image to fill the entire page, we recommend using large, high-quality images as the page background.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**: Parallax effects are not displayed in mobile viewports for performance reasons.
{% endhint %}

## Data mapping (coming soon)
On category and product pages, the following fields can be dynamically mapped from the current category or product:
* **Image** - e.g. category image or product image
* **Headline** - e.g. category name or product name
* **Text** - e.g. category description or product description
