Theme Changes
– Refactoring the theme’s code.
Page template structure was completely rebuild according to the latest web-design trends. We decreased the amont of server requests. This made our theme faster. Search engines will love this, as well as your customers.– Lazyload functionality added.
We added a wonderful library called “Lazysizes”, which loads images, products, and even whole Page Builder elements only if they are needed (if a user scrolls down that page, for example). Thus page sizes decrease while site loading speed is rising.– New Ajax-based shop filters!
We took basic WooCommerce filters as a base and then added some magic to it. Now you can filter through all products you have on your site without reloading the page. We know you’ll love this.– Widget update
We updated almost all widgets we have in the theme so they become even more comfortable and useful for you.
