In reply to: How to properly measure the speed on the website?Just now GTMetrix gave lovedbyanimals.com a C grade, but 3.6 seconds total page load time seems reasonable for such a large page with so many images and requests, and the report is at https://gtmetrix.com/reports/lovedbyanimals.com/SfypCBLk/
Loading lovedbyanimals.com on my screen loaded from the top down above the fold very fast, as I’d expect from GTMetrix’s finding of only 1.6s to largest content paint, so that’s good.
Just curious, are you using Bluehost shared hosting plus free Cloudflare?
The www is redirecting to non-www (naked/apex/bare domain) which is fine.
However, it might be a problem that lovedbyanimals.com is going to http (unsecure) instead of what most would want, https://lovedbyanimals.com/ (It does that consistently in an incognito browser window, but inconsistently in a regular browser which sometimes remembers https, so if you don’t see that, try an Incognito (Chrome) or InPrivate (Edge) window).
Also, Google will supposedly see http://lovedbyanimals.com/ and https://lovedbyanimals.com/ as two separate websites (which could dilute your link juice) and as duplicate content (which could hurt your PageRank) so you should probably do a redirect of http://lovedbyanimals.com/ to https://lovedbyanimals.com/
Thanks Leo, that’s what I expected.
Thank you, that sound reasonable. I was hoping it might do so without writing custom CSS.
Thanks, that’s very cool to give the code and instructions! I’ve purchased the Premium version.
Best wishes from Salt Spring IslandThanks! That sounds perfect.
If I understand correctly, as long as I’m willing to create (and maintain) two menus, I can hide menu A on desktop and show menu A on mobile, and vice versa (show menu B on desktop and hide menu B on mobile).
I just wanted to know that I can do that without writing special programming. Thank you!
Thanks. Sorry, no, I haven’t found any examples of it out there; https://www.megamenu.com/ does the opposite – it goes from horizontal on desktop to vertical on mobile (but a person has to click the hamburger toggle on mobile to see the vertical menu, which is a click I’d want to omit.)
Yes, for mobile I do want to ditch the hamburger toggle, but I don’t want to just show the same links vertically on mobile (which I suppose could be done by just lowering the breakpoint to zero), because that would take up so much space on a mobile screen it would look weird.
What I would like to do is to simply switch to a different menu structure at the breakpoint for mobile.
Namely, to a horizontal menu with drop-down entries, as being the best compromise for me for mobile. (For an information-heavy site.) Thanks for any help.

In reply to: theme advice soughtThanks Joy, that helps a lot. Sorry if my question seems stupid. Are you saying that just about any theme would work for the simple layout above? Would the dropdown menu be available in all themes, or something specific to particular themes, or would that be put in using a “plugin”?
(You mentioned a sidebar, but I don’t want a sidebar because it seems they’re not recommended for smartphone visitors.)
