Mobile-friendly WordPress themes deliver better user experience and retain more customers. A mobile responsive design future-proofs your site. Also, it helps you to establish your company as a modern and relevant brand. So all the websites must be mobile responsive.

We have checked the responsiveness of the Plaxer theme, and it's compatible with all sizes of devices. We have run the demo website on several mobiles, and we have not seen any problem anywhere. The theme runs nicely on every device. The position of each page element was accurate, and we did not observe any padding or misplacement related issues.

We also wanted to make sure that the theme was mobile harmonious through Google's mobile compatibility test, but it was not possible due to the block from robots.text files. However, there is nothing to worry about, because it will not be a problem to reach your website on the mobile for any of your visitors.

Speed Test Review

The amount of time it takes for a website to load is what we call page speed. The shorter the loading time of the site, the more suitable it is for ranking in Google. Also, no one wants to visit a website that has a long loading time. Usually, a standard website should not take more than 3 seconds to load.

We checked the Plaxers web page loading speed at Pingdom, and the score is 85 out of 100 which is awesome. The page size is 6.3 MB, and the full page took 6.1 seconds to load. It can be said that the weight of the website has increased due to having more page elements. So loading is taking more time. Merging different style sheets and java scripts together will increase the page loading speed score. There is a plugin called “Autoptimize” that has been provided with the theme bundle, and you can use it to resolve those problems

SEO Review

If you want to find any specific information on the internet, then you usually search on Google with any keyword related to that information, and Google shows you a lot of results. These are the results you see because these webpages are optimized for search engines with that particular keyword. SEO represents the information on your website in front of the visitors. The better the search engine optimization the website has, the higher the Google ranking it will get.

We checked the SEO capability of the theme on the SEO Site CheckUp website. The Plaxer demo website got 59 out of 100 in the test, which is average. Naturally, the theme needs a lot of modifications, and you can do them without being an expert. The theme lacks meta description tags, keyword usage tags, heading tags, sitemap files, image alt text, and google analytics files. Since these are different for each website, it is not uncommon for these files to be missing. The theme bundle comes with the Yoast SEO plugin so that you won't have any problems resolving these issues.
