Feature List

Mobile Compatibility

Mobile compatibility testing is checking or verifying that your website behaves as expected across the combination of mobile devices. The number of mobile users around the world is continuously increasing. In regular life, everyone uses mobile for web browsing. As a result, most of the views of the websites are generated from mobile devices. So having a mobile-friendly UI is recommended for every site.

We have checked the demo on various mobile devices, and it behaves well on all sizes of screens. Its flexible and interactive UI workes perfectly on mobile. All the page elements are nicely fitted, and the Overworld theme looks beautiful on mobile. This theme has a separate version of all the essential page elements that are specially made for mobile devices. So, there is no possible way to be not compatible with portable devices.

We also performed a Google mobile compatibility test to oversure the harmony of Overworld with mobiles, and google test results didn't agree with the Overworld themes mobile-friendliness. Maybe there is a robots.txt file issue, which can be easily fixed. But we can assure you; this WordPress theme can perfectly sync with any devices.

Design Review

Your first impression always should be the best one. That's why developers always pay more attention to design as its an essential criterion for the WordPress theme. As we mentioned before, the Overworld is visually appealing, and its structure is fascinating. The entire user interface of the theme is quite interactive, which is reflected in a charming style due to the hovering of the mouse. There are many built-in page designs, so you can select any layout you like and edit it with shortcodes cause a vast shortcode library powers the theme.

The purple color of the theme is quite eye-catching, and every page has nothing but gaming elements related to the topic. As a result, visitors do not have to do additional searching for specific items. Game fixtures, results, upcoming events, blogs, galleries, member profiles, product details, streaming - there are separate dedicated options for everything. There are also variations in the header and footer sections. Developers will not give you any room for complaint about designing, so you are obliged to provide a full mark for design to the Overworld WordPress theme.

Speed Test Review

Speed testing is an essential factor that we should have a check before purchasing a WordPress theme. It helps us to know how soon the theme ingredients can be shown in the browser window. The faster the loading speed is, the better the site. An ideal website shouldn’t take more than 3/4 seconds to finish loading.

From the Pingdom test result, we are quite convinced with the score. The Overworld WordPress theme obtained  65 out of 100 and took 3.25 seconds to finish its loading. The timing was pleasant enough, but why the rating is less? Well, the page weight is 7MB, which is more than expected. Compressing multiple page stylesheet, java scripts into one and using scaled images can raise the speed up. Use Gzip to squeeze page elements. Also, Using cookie-free domains and decreasing DNS lookups will also help you to enhance the speed. Use the W3 cache plugin cause it's more convenient to use, and no coding knowledge is needed.

SEO Review

SEO is something you should care about before building a website. Google pays much attention to its visitors, so if your website can satisfy your regular audience, then Google will rank your website up. Now how will Google know that your website contains valid and necessary data? If your site has SEO friendly environment, you can quickly put data over there rank your website up.

We have tested the Overworld's SEO capability on SEO Site checkup, and the score is fantastic. It scored 77 out of 100. We can see the demo website passed 37 test but failed in 10. So, there is room for modification. The site is needing meta description, keyword usage, a sitemap file ( due to which the theme failed in Google Mobile Compatibility Test), and Google Analytics script. Also, the demo website is using inline CSS files, which is not suitable for SEO, and the demo website URLs aren't SEO friendly. Don't worry, and you don't have to be an expert to solve these. Simply use a premium SEO plugin, and you can blow these issues away.
