What is the best way to add a layered blur effect to a header overlay?▼

Using layered backdrop-filter elements with progressive masks provides customizable height and z-index for precise layering. This approach offers performance-conscious defaults and responsive sizing, distinguishing it from single-layer blur filters that often create abrupt visual edges.
