Hi, Hello welcome to everyone.


Templates are one of the important things in every website. A good-looking template will upsurge your returning visitors. So take some time to choose your blog template. Today we will see how to select the perfect template for your blog.



How To Choose a Blog Template


  1. Speed


  1. Seo friendly


  1. Responsiveness in all web device


  1. Browser Compatibility


  1. Page Navigation


  1. Breadcrumbs Navigation


  1. Social Bookmark Widgets


  1. Email Subscription Widget


  1. Main Colour of template


  1. Based on blog niche


  1. Some important points




#1.SPEED


 Why do I select speed first? because people will ignore very slowness websites.

Because of that, the slowness websites have a higher "Bounce Rate". Google also ignores slowness websites. The slowness websites also take a long time to index in any search engine. 


The speed of every Website should be greater than 80(lighthouse value). Check your website speed here. When connecting your website with Adsense, your website speed will decrease up to 30-40% of normal speed. So check template speed before you choose.



#2.SEO FRIENDLY


Secondly, we have SEO. SEO is the most important thing on our list. If your template does not optimize SEO your website will take a long time to index. Some important codes your chosen template must have,



  • Canonical URL tags- URL of your Website


<link rel=”canonical” href=”https://yourdomain.com” />



  • Title tag- like this


  <title>Randomspot</title>


  • Meta description tags


<meta name="title" content="Random spot" />

<meta name="description" content="For seo, affiliate marketing, email marketing and free guide for Bloggers." />

<meta name="keywords" content="Seo, affiliate marketing, email marketing, free blogging tips, " />

<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<meta name="language" content="English" />


  

  • headings tag(H1 to H6)



  • Social media card tags


<!--Twitter Card-->

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'> <!--homepage-->

    <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />

    <meta name="twitter:description" expr:content='data:blog.metaDescription' />

    <meta name="twitter:title" expr:content="data:blog.pageTitle" />

    <meta name="twitter:site" content="@username" />

    <meta name="twitter:image" content="YOUR_LOGO_URL" />

    <meta name="twitter:creator" content="@username" />

</b:if>



  • Link's have a proper tags(do-fellow and no-fellow)


If you can't find anything in the list you must add it manually. I will create separate posts for important codes for Bloggers.



#3.RESPONSIVENESS - all web device


Responsiveness is one of the most important for every website. Please check if your website is fully responsive to all web devices. Especially Mobile phones, because most people use to find something even though they have a lab.


Check your website mobile-friendly or not.



#4.BROWSER COMPATIBILITY


Browser compatibility is one of the factors to consider before choosing a template. Check your template compatible with all browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc. If you are choosing a very old template this problem will occur.


Check here your website is compatible with all browsers.



#5.PAGE NAVIGATION


Page navigation is one important figure you must check. Your Template is most optimized for easy navigating the Home page, label pages, search pages, archive pages, post pages, and more. 


With help of buttons, It overcomes Newer Post and Older Post at the bottom. These themes are helpful to create a good amount of posts. So if you want to make a blog and want to publish many posts then these themes will help you to organize your blog in the most perfect way.


Improper page navigation templates will not get Adsense. Check out this manually.



#6.BREADCRUMBS NAVIGATION

Breadcrumbs Navigation Templates already optimized for better SEO and search engine results. Breadcrumb Navigation should be Shown Below or above your site title.


 Breadcrumb navigation is a kind of menu that shows the post link and post title in chronological order, like first the home link will appear, then the label of that post will appear and at last, the post title will appear itself. This feature is very beneficial in SEO and will help you in ranking higher on search engines. 



#7.SOCIAL BOOKMARK WIDGETS


well designed and pitch-perfect functionality of social media widgets, these themes have Social Bookmark Buttons Like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. With the help of these buttons, a reader can easily connect with you and your visitors. 



#8.EMAIL SUBSCRIPTION WIDGET


Email Subscription Widget must have every website. If you don't have this widget you may lose dons of customers (E-commerce blog). You can get web traffic too, you can notify every post you published via email.



#9.MAIN COLOUR OF TEMPLATE


Don't irritate your visitors by choosing multiple colors Template. Most of them like single-colored themes. So consider it.



#10.BASED ON BLOG NICHE


On the internet, we have a lot of Websites like E-commerce websites, tools websites, game websites, and more. Every website has a style. So choose a Template regarding your blog niche.



#11.SOME IMPORTANT POINTS


  • Check Template release date is should be Less than a year.
