<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIt is a light WordPress theme, where you can build a blog, magazine-style site, e-commerce site, affiliate marketing<\/a> site, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\nI am sure you know what WordPress is, but let’s just briefly mention that WordPress is a site builder or we can call it also a blogging tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
WordPress has a variety of options in terms of adding things to it, and really it is one of the most popular (if not the most) popular CMS (CMS <\/a>stands for Content Management System).<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow let’s take a look at the entire structure from a higher perspective;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Is a WordPress Theme?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nGenerally speaking, a WordPress theme is a theme that controls the content including, fonts, typography, color…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is what your theme controls:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Layout<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fonts <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Colors<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sizes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Speed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
In other words, everything that your audience sees on your website is driven by the theme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on the theme you can control the different layouts of your site. <\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nNo matter what layout (or theme) you choose, the important thing is that there are no distractions.
This means your content must be readable, and easily recognizable.
You don’t want that your visitors are distracted by too many sidebars. Especially when there are ads on those sidebars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Important posts of pages of your size (like squeeze pages) should be without sidebars, So the reader is focused entirely on the content.
An example of such a post is my squeeze page, specifically, it is my #1 recommended platform<\/a> teaching affiliate marketing. (The difference is visible on the desktop only). <\/p>\n\n\n\nI find GeneratePress a perfect theme where you can choose how many sidebars to have where to have them or whether to have them or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is what this post looks like without sidebars:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nand here below, is how it looks with two sidebars and content in the middle. <\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nYou can have different variations and with the GeneratePress theme, you can even change the width of the sidebars, the content, or the widget padding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Page Load Speed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I believe you have already familiar with the term site speed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have a website, you can check the performance using the tool, called PageSpeed Insights<\/a>. It is a Google tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is what the result might look like:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nYou see that in my case, the mobile is not in the green.
But as soon as it is not red, I don’t need to become obsessed and find every single thing within the post to get the result into green. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note:<\/strong>
Do the test twice, and sometimes the number does change.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\nSo please, even if your site performs similarly, be ok with that. This is actually a good result and it won’t affect the rankings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But of course, in case you see the number 15 (or less) in the red circle, you should fix something.
Many times it could be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Too many plugins (some plugins are heavy and they slow down the website)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Too large media files (for example images. You don’t need to have larger images than 800x800pxls)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Caching issues (you should contact your hosting provider)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Too many Ads<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Slow WordPress Themes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Also, there is a lot of stuff “behind the scenes” that slows down the site, and we don’t have control over it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This might be a YouTube video embedded in your post. The thing is that the video runs on a different server.
The same thing for Ads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can test it out, by removing the YouTube videos, or removing images and testing it again.
If the problem remains, you can try to get a new theme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it doesn’t have to be the actual theme that slows the site down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, I used to have a theme that did not have a lot of diversity.
In other words, in order to customize something on my website, I had to have additional plugins.
And that was the real cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I decided to change the theme and chose the GenerarePress.
It is a simple theme with a lot of variations, so I was able to get rid of the plugins and still customize the website as I needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, the site speed has gotten much better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
