Mega Menus help you to add multiple columns in the drop-down menus to your navigation with rich media such as images and videos. 

Why you Should Add Mega Menu in WordPress?

Mega Menus are helpful for websites with a lot of content. This allows you to show more items in the top menu of your website.

Many popular websites use mega menus to display highly engaging and interactive navigation menus. For eg:- Reuters, Buzzfeed, Starbucks, etc. 

The default WordPress navigation menus allow you to add drop-down sub-menus and you can also add image icons next to each item, but in some cases, you just need a mega menu.
