[Abijay]

Seasonal Greetings everyone!
Kindly visit my website for an honest review/user experience.

Slow, very very slow. Google thinks so to: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https://lerzuresports.co.uk/

The actual site isn't anything special. It's a random set of products, poorly presented with content plagiarized from amazon.

There are no contact details, T&C or returns policy.

Thanks for your honest review.
Firstly, the old website that was built using Godaddy's web design was much faster and had everything that is not on this new website. The only problem that I had with that website was that it was possible to install Google Conversion Tracking Code, according to Godaddy.
Without any form of tec knowledge, I am developing this new website as well as holding down a full-time job. We are working on improving the whole setup and will get there in due course.

Secondly, you are right when you say that my website is not unique, not because I plagiarised any content from Amazon but because with over 2 million sellers active sellers on Amazon https://www.marketplacepulse.com/amazon/number-of-sellers , I doubt that you will find any unique content there. I know this because I have sold on Amazon US and Amazon UK for a few years and I have had my contents and listings copied word for word. When I contacted Amazon about this, their response was that there are too many Sellers on Amazon for there to be any unique content/description and that I should try and re-write my description. Kindly direct me to any content or product listing on Amazon which you believe I have plagiarised and I will rectify this promptly.

Thirdly, I am not sure I understand what you mean by "A random set of products, poorly presented" because all my products are Fitness Accessories and my products have been selected because they contribute in some way to overall fitness. Again, I concur to your expertise and would appreciate it if you could be more specific about the products you are referring to.

Thanks again for the constructive criticism.

Anti snoring devices are not fitness related - so that's a random product. You only have 8 products in total so not a full range - but not niche enough to make people want to buy from the site.

I agree with you that there is no obvious link between an anti-snoring mouthguard and fitness.
I did quite a bit of product research and much of the information I found out there seem to agree with this:

As I am selling 'Fitness Accessories' not 'Fitness Equipment', I am hoping that some visitors to my website will find something of value.

Your feedback is most appreciated

That confirms to me that it's not fitness related - if you have OSA then you need to get your GP - if you want to reduce your snoring then you would not look on a fitness site.

You only have a small site and having items like that look like you are trying to bulk out what little product range you have and makes the site look a little 'dodgy' and one that people would avoid.

It is probably a good idea to agree to disagree as to whether or not an anti-snoring mouthguard can be considered a fitness accessory even if using it can improve one's overall health and fitness from getting better quality sleep. Maybe I will get more sales if it is not promoted as a fitness accessory. For now, it is what it is. I have taken on board the observation regarding the loading speed of my website, and I am working hard to improve the overall functionality of the website. I will address the issue of T&C, and the business contact details very shortly.
Interestingly, for several months until a few weeks ago, I had just three items on my website, and I was selling a fair amount and the anti-snoring mouthguard has always been my top-seller. And yes, I have a small business with a small website trying to bulk out what little range of products I have. Nothing wrong with that, some might say. Jack Cohen started out by selling war-surplus groceries from a stall at Well Street Market, Hackney, in the East End of London. Today, there are 6,800 Tesco shops and 450,000 employees. Thanks, guys for all the feedback. Most appreciated.

Makes no difference.

It's a poorly built website with a handful of unrelated products.

Start by fulfilling your legal requirements and publishing your full contact details, T&C and a returns policy.

And what exactly does ler-zure-sports mean?

 

[Oxfordlocals]

Interesting, site is fully loaded on 7 seconds, yet the site seems pretty small, you need to put in terms and conditions, the links look a bit bland, you also do not have any call to actions, might we worth considering a product page, you need to put a footer in with contacts, about us etc, google some other sites and you will get some ideas, like the others on here, what is snoring got to do with fitness, you site needs to be fully optimized, this includes speed

Just to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who gave me their very honest feedback regarding my website https://lerzuresports.co.uk. Yes, I was a bit defensive in my responses (well, it's my baby project No mother likes her baby/child to be criticized even when she knows the criticism is deserved). Anyway, I took on board all (okay, some) of the feedback and did a re-design of the website. No name change and still the same number of products because I need to get rid of the hundreds of items before I can think of new lines of products. I have invested in a CDN with Stackpath but the pages are even slower! Personally, I think the new look is easier on the eye.
I am still working with the designer and so will really appreciate another look at the website. Much appreciated.

Which one is better for increasing page upload: Autoptimize or Jetpack?

Which one is better for increasing page upload: Autoptimize or Jetpack?

Neither.

You need better hosting, a different theme and fewer plugins.

Right now the site is broken. None of the images display. Your developer is hopeless.

Thanks for the quick response. Not the developer's fault. I was messing about with some of the plugins which affected the images. I have revised this now. Please check again for me. My website is hosted by Godaddy, and I chose them for their great 24/7 support. Any ideas for a better hosting service? Many Thanks

 

[Abijay]

I am thinking of changing to Astra. Will it be easy for me to do this or do I need a developer for this?

 

[fisicx]

Easy to do. But that's just one very small change. It's everything else that's the problem.

 

[fisicx]

Please check again for me.

Nope,still not working

Nope,still not working

That is strange because it is loading for me on my laptop and also on my phone. Anybody else having the same loading problem with my website?

Just clicked on and images showed up OK

I do not understand why you include sport in the title when its more medical

Opened the snoring page and looked for the description, the most important part of buying, and found a blank video screen and initially nothing else, looked again and underneath the blank video was a set on descriptions in small font that did not inspire me to read them, clicked shipping and nothing related to shipping

Nobody needs a video for such a simple item and it most likely will make upload longer so suggest get ride of the video which anyway does not work

If you are a snorer then you know what you are looking for so something like
"Our standard anti snoring device is made from soft and flexible lycra straps which enable you to have a comfortable nights sleep, They apply virtually no pressure on the face, With proven results from the xxx this is currently the most efficient method to solve the snoring problem, it is also hygienic and can withstand constant washing with no adverse effects"

Thanks Chris,
With regards to the Name, it was a moment of indecision as to what to sell at the start of the whole journey, and now it has stuck. Maybe one can re-visit it later. Thanks also for the feedback on the content. I am on it!

That is pretty slow and I have high speed internet. Wouldn't like to try that on phone using mobile data.

Not sure if top menu has the correct menu items... I'd expect to see those links on the footer with top links used for product categories or something. I personally wouldn't click on any menu item as a buyer and would naturally scroll down if I wanted to know anything like that. I always like to see shipping policies on websites, its pretty important to me cause I'm really impatient plus some delivery companies suck so Id like to know who is delivering item.

Dont think the 'select category' option in search bar has any use.

My opinion for what its worth
