In this age of progress, it is quite challenging to survive online without a mobile compatible website. Nowadays, no one sits down to visit a site from a computer.

Design Review

Designing is a fundamental issue for WordPress themes. A visitor sees the overall design of a website first, so developers work hard to make the sites attractive. "Bon Appetit" is a very striking, interesting theme when it comes to designing. There is a touch of golden color throughout the website that makes the theme regal. The theme has 800+ font support, and the fonts with different designs in each section look great. It has the support of Font Awesome, whose beautiful icons have multiplied the beauty of the theme.

The first thing you see in the theme is a sleek slider. Then there's the menu section, which looks pretty elegant in design. Then one by one the photo blocks are used to introduce the restaurant, the call to action section of the online order, the accessible menu of the day, the food ingredients, the event announcement section, the testimonials, and the footer part - each chapter is carefully crafted to capture the interest of the visitor.

Besides, all pages, including blog pages, menu pages, contact us pages, have been created efficiently. The food ingredients section on the home page is unique and new to us so that customers can see what they are eating. This will highlight the honesty of the restaurant, which will be able to create more customer attention.

Speed Test Review

Website loading speed is another essential factor. Usually, the loading speed of a standard website is 5 seconds. Because now no visitor waits long for the website to load. If the loading speed is high, reasonable people will go to the competitor site, which can result in colossal visitor loss.

We have checked the speed of "Bon appetit" on the GTimetrix site, which is a very reliable site for checking website loading speed. So, Bon Appetit's overall score is 80, which is quite an admirable score. It took 3.4 seconds to load the entire website which is a very satisfactory score. Scores can be higher if we do a few repairs to the theme. The images on the website are not optimized at all, and the HTTP redirect requests are not minimized. You don't have to be a knowledgeable developer to do these things. This can be done very easily with the WordPress Cache plugin.

SEO Review

If you want your website to be one of the best sites to search on Google, then SEO is a must for your website. With SEO, your website can reach people very efficiently. Using SEO site checkup, we checked the SEO of "Bon appetit" on the website, and the overall score came 68, which is quite good. However, the score can be improved a lot if we do some renovation work. The site has no meta descriptions, no keywords, no robots.txt and sitemap files, no image alt tags. Also, no social website has been integrated with the site, and inline CSS has been used in the theme. No need to worry, you can use the Yoast SEO plugin to solve these problems at the earliest.

The satisfaction of the customers is reflected in the rating section. The theme is in a pretty good position with a 4.67 rating. Everyone is pleased with the design quality, customizability, and customer support of the "Bon Appetit" theme.
