Hey guys!

    First, I think the web site is a very intriguing concept. But the execution leaves something to be desired.

    Right now it looks like a blog post of odd products.

    I think it might work better just as blog, where you feature one interesting item per day or something.

    And each day (monday, tuesday, wednesday,) could be assigned a category product.

    For example, Technology Tuesdays, Weird Wednesdays, etc...

    Then send out a weekly digest newsletter of all the new featured products.

    That's just what I can think of off the top of my head.

    Also i noticed that my website loads very slowly. How is it possible to have a page break using the Page Builder plugin? Like after 20 posts there is next page option. Load time is 7,35 sec.

    Tried to Google it but no success

      The first thing I would try is get the google analytics code out of the header and place it in the far right footer in a text box ( it wont show up at all ) and see what that does to your load tie.

      Success is an ACT not an idea

    Honest review:
    Your website looks nice but there are some problems that you need to fix
    • Optimize your website so that it loads quicker or better switch to a better host like A small orange.
    • Get a professional logo designed
    • If the images are of the same size, it would look better.
    • Reduce the load time
    • Reduce the number of posts/images on the home page
    • Add lazy load

    To add on to Astral Walker's comment, your site has some foundational problems that you really should address if possible.

    You have 14 stylesheets loading (very common on wordpress sites but with a little work you can probably combine them into a single stylesheet ... which will speed up load times significantly for first time visitors).

    You have 13 javascript files loading in the head of the document (again, very common on wordpress sites ... these should be moved to the site footer and combined if possible). Pretty simple to do as well.

    You have another 2 stylesheets and 4 javascript files loading at the end of the page. Move the 2 stylesheets into the header (and combine with the others).

    Each file on a page requires an extra round trip to the server and many browsers will not download more than 2 files at a time per domain.

    If you can combine your stylesheets together and do the same for your javascript, that means 2 files to download rather than 33 ... which could speed your page up very significantly.

    Other than that, interesting idea and the page looks fairly nice.

    Very interesting idea. The concept is cool. Definitely get a cool logo.

    Also, I feel like the product titles should be clickable, not just the image.

    Make your affiliate links no follow.

    Mask your affiliate links with something like the pretty link plugin

    The slider seems really out of place.

    And get a custom favicon instead of the default hostgator one: Add Custom Favicon to WordPress
