Design Review

WordPress websites are a kind of product too. So, the outlook of a website means a lot towards the visitors. If the optical design is not good enough, the audience rate may skip. So its imperative to have an excellent looking website, and that's why WordPress theme authors pay specific attention to the designing part.

Speed Test Review

Quick responding websites are great - not only to the site owners but also to the visitors. When a website loads faster, it makes a decisive, happy impact on the audience, and crawling websites have a higher visitor bounce rate ration. Google pays more attention to fast loading websites and counts this criterion as a vital element for website ranking.

We have checked the loading speed of the Zoa Elementor WooCommerce theme on Pingdom. It scored 74(c) out of 100 with 4.56 seconds of loading speed. For now, we can say that it is a good score, but it still requires some correction. As the ideal loading speed of any website shouldn't be more than 3 seconds so, a few tweaks will be able to take this theme to a supreme position.

Web pages are becoming increasingly complex with more scripts, style sheets, images, and Flash on them. A first-time visit to a page may require several HTTP requests to load all the components. By using Expires headers and decreasing the number of pages components will make this theme faster. You can use a Cache plugin such as - W3 Total Cache to make these adjustments.

SEO Review

SEO can help you to get easy traffic from the search engines for your website. Here, we are talking about a WooCommerce - so it's a must thing to have a search engine optimized website cause usually people buy things that come on the top of the result. It went without saying that SEO depends on data that traditionally provided by site owners. Still, we check SEO compatibility to see the harmony of the website with the search results.

From the SEO Site Checkup result, it looks like the Zoa WooCommerce WordPress theme is average when it comes to SEO. It scored 70 with 12 vulnerable and three failed tests. The meta description, keywords, favicon, sitemap file, Google Analytics scripts and few image Alt tag is missing from the demo website. Also, the URLs aren't SEO friendly, and the site is using inline CSS, which is responsible for lower SEO score. Better use an SEO plugin that can help to resolve these issues without any prior coding knowledge.

Search Engine Optimization is certainly concerned with rankings, but the highly contested top spot of the SERP listings is often unattainable.  Rich Snippets are so valuable to SEO because they make it easy to draw users’ attention to results that may not be at the top of the list.
