Create Amazing Websites
With the best free page builder Elementor
Start NowWe liked the hidden menu icon on the header. The author preferred to position it on the left and it looks good. When clicked, it takes place without completely covering the page; it is stylish. However, the header is not fixed. So if you want to access the menu once at the bottom of the page, you will have to go back up. Fortunately, the author has provided a "Back to top" button to facilitate navigation.

Design Review
If you want to attract visitors to your site and keep as many of them as possible, then skimp on design. Here, we are talking about real estate. And it seems that the author of Wp Estate has not been easy on this level. Since it offers several prebuilt demos, we will dwell here on only one namely "Milano". It is a demo which, as the name suggests, highlights real estate in the city of Milan.
Of course, you can modify the demo according to your preferences, but it must be recognized that the author's work is very beautiful, like the city of Milan. We feel immersed in it and we want to live there just by watching the demo.
The colors used (white, red, gold) have been carefully selected, bringing to the design a glamorous, chic, and heavenly dimension. The theme is well organized, with beautiful grids and portfolios that you can customize to your liking.
Speed Test Review
The speed test will allow us to analyze the experience of your users when they access and navigate your site. What you should know is that visitors usually find a site boring that takes more than 3 seconds to load. It is difficult for them to retain loyalty in these kinds of conditions. So what about the theme being studied today?
An average time of 3.5 seconds for a total page load, with an overall rating of "A", according to the GTmetrix site. Although it’s a good rating, a time of 3.5 seconds could negatively affect the experience of your users. We therefore recommend that you pay attention to it.
From what we have seen, some minor errors could be corrected, and thus improve the loading time of your site. This is the case for example with JavaScript code that could be impacted compacted. Indeed, minify JavaScript code can save many bytes of data and speed up downloading, parsing, and execution time
SEO Review
SEO guarantees the visibility of your website on search engines. We carried out this test on the SEO Site Checkup site, one of our benchmarks in this area. With the score of 69/100, we can say that Wp Estate is not doing too badly. Nevertheless, there would be things to criticize according to some observations.
Indeed, some errors were noted during our test. This concerns several points among which Meta description, Heading tag, Keyword usage, and others. But we dare to believe that the author neglected these aspects because it was a demo and not a site in good and due form. You can improve your SEO by yourself, without any particular coding skills. To do this, simply use advanced SEO plugins designed for this purpose.
Also, you can't rely on Google rich results to showcase your content in search results. WpEstate does not support this type of file at all as shown in the test below.
