 * You page load time appears to be really good now (1.1s on the latest GTmetrix
   report I ran), did you resolve the issue?
 * You have done a great job optimizing your site’s performance. The only thing 
   I would suggest is to use jpeg images instead of png whenever possible. But your
   the size of your images is very small so it’s not something you have to worry
   about at the moment.

 * Hi gangward!
 * Before switching to another ecommerce plugin, I highly encourage you to optimize
   your site’s performance to see if it helps (I really think it will). You can 
   use tools like [GTMetrix](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.gangward.com/wwpVl6yW)
   to identify what slows down your site, and find ways on how you can speed it 
   up.
 * A few things you can do are:
    1. Optimize your images to reduce your page’s size
   even further. This can be done by deleting unnecessary data like the date the
   photo was taken..etc. 2. Minify your CSS and JS files, get rid of white space
   so they load faster. 3. Combine all your CSS files into a single document to 
   reduce the number of requests. Same with JS.
 * There’re plugins that help you do all those with ease. The two I recommend are
   [Smush](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/) for image optimization and
   [Autoptimize](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/) for CSS and JS optimization.
 * There are a few other ways that are a bit more technical to speed up your site
   even further, like adding expires headers (saving resources on browsers so it
   loads way faster the 2nd time the page is visited by a user) and using CDN (for
   consistent load speed in multiple locations).
 * Let me know if you need help with anything I mentioned.

 * [@jxhn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jxhn/) I totally agree! I wasn’t 
   planning on using #menu-item-xx. My first selector was `.nav-link` then started
   experimenting with other selectors including the one you shared.
 * And yes, I’m using the latest version of the theme. I haven’t touch header.php,
   though. So I can’t think of anything that might be preventing the declaration.
   I though it might be Elementor, but the problem is still present even after deactivating
   the plugin.

 * [@jxhn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jxhn/) I’ve tried this as well but
   couldn’t get it to work. Same as selecting #menu-item-xx, all attributes change
   but the text’s color.

 * No, I’m developing in localhost. But I’m talking about the default a:hover color
   the theme comes with. For some reason I can use
 *     ```
       #menu-item-xx > a:hover {
       } 
       ```
   
 * to change height, width, and background color, but not the text’s color.

 * Setting the bottom margin of the column to a negative value decreases the area
   a bit but doesn’t get rid of it completely. Another solution I found is lowering
   the section’s bottom margin value. However, I’m afraid this might cause the two
   sections (section containing the text and the one below) to overlap on smaller
   screens.
 * Thanks so much for your help!

 * > Go in the advance option and add 0 in padding
 * There are three areas in which I am able to set the padding:
 * 1. Section: no changes.
    2. Text editor: no changes. 3. Column text editor contained
   in: only top padding is removed.
 * Is there a way to remove bottom padding as well? Thank you.
