Hello and congrats on your amazing work on
Gum!
However, i have some suggestions that i believe would make this theme even more attractive.
1. Page speed/code optimisations (currently the theme scores pretty low on tests):
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgum.osclassdemo.com%2F&tab=desktophttps://gtmetrix.com/reports/gum.osclassdemo.com/i8EVvrz42. Code errors were found when scanning with
https://www.onlinewebcheck.com/check.php and some are related to the theme.
3. Responsive layout adjustments, as you get huge unused space around the page (especially around the bottom area) - tested on my phone and also on
http://mobiletest.me/ (screenshots).
4. Unobtrusive/transparent back to top icon (screenshot).
5.
Ads management - New square/vertical adsense unit to the right, under the
Useful tips box, on the product detail page - 300 x 250px / 300 x 600px (screenshot).
Ads management - New small adsense unit in the empty space to the right of the
Posted time - 320 x 50px (screenshot).
NOTE: In August 2016, AdSense lifted the ad unit limit for every site (before it was 3 units per page - now it's unlimited).
6. Automatic scrolling in
Usefull tips carousel (right to left).
Automatic scrolling in
Ads in the spotlight carousel (right to left).
Automatic scrolling in
Related Ads carousel.
7.
3 Featured Ads in
http://gum.osclassdemo.com/search (currently it's set to 2).
8. The
Reveal phone number button, uses an empty anchor that links to the top of the page, as seen is the code below.
<a class="btn btn-default btn-arrow-left" onclick="reveal_phone($(this));" href="#">Reveal</a>This is bad for the user experience, as it moves the page.
Clicking on the button should only show the number.
Thanks!
