Apart from the visual appearance, things which matter while choosing a WordPress theme include <\/span>coding style<\/b>, <\/span>speed, security<\/b>, and <\/span>support<\/b>. Out of which speed and code play a vital role in SERPs. However, at times certain factors are compromised to achieve a better performant theme.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, while looking for a performance-based WordPress theme, I instantly thought about MyThemeShop, I know they create speed and blogging focused themes.<\/span><\/p>\n

I came across <\/span>Schema by MyThemeShop<\/span><\/a> which claims to be the fastest SEO theme. So, I decided to give it a spin and check out how good it is. And after using it for a while, I\u2019m pretty excited to share this incredibly fast theme with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this extensive review, I\u2019ll be diving into not only the SEO related but all the other features which this theme has to offer. Let\u2019s get started.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd25\u00a0Schema by MyThemeShop<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

The Schema<\/a><\/span> is a premium WordPress theme developed by MyThemeShop which is one of the reliable theme shops to grab some quality themes. Currently, it rocks <\/span>399,500+<\/b> happy users<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a little fun user counter alongside its logo to see the number. Apart from\u00a0<\/span>themes<\/span><\/a>, it also offers a bunch of great<\/span> plugins<\/span><\/a>. You can find both free as well as premium stuff at MyThemeShop.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"MyThemeShop\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The reason, why I love giving a special mention to the developers is to create a credibility for a product and to ensure that you get exceptional support from them. Also the fact that the product won\u2019t go anywhere anytime soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc4d\u00a0The Schema theme is primarily built with speed and SEO needs in focus. With <\/span>built-in review system<\/b>, <\/span>rich snippets<\/b>, <\/span>Google knowledge graphs<\/b> support<\/b>, and <\/span>well-structured coding<\/b>, it does a pretty great job at appearance too. You can always customize it to meet your needs. In fact, creating a child theme in Schema is just a click away. I’ll cover more on it later.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb0 Pricing<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Schema theme is a premium WordPress theme starting at <\/span>$69\/single site license<\/b><\/a>. It includes a <\/span>30 days money back guarantee<\/b> and <\/span>24×7 technical support<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Schema<\/a><\/div>\n

\ud83d\udcb9 Structured Data & Speed Tests<\/span><\/h2>\n

To test speed, I installed it on one of the mildly used sites, with a couple of plugins on it. And Here are the test results:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Google-Structured-Data-Testing-Tool-Results\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\ud83d\udee0\u00a0The above screenshot shows the idea of how it\u2019s going to perform with everything up on the site. All structured items are being recognized.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, apart from the speed, <\/span>structured data markups<\/b> also play a vital role in ranking. So, I went ahead and performed a structured data test. And here are the results which are pretty darn impressive. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Pingdom<\/a><\/div>\n

Apart from the performance and markup validation, Schema also offers <\/span>rich snippets<\/b> feature to help you rank better in SERPs. For example, I have created a demo snippet just to give you an idea how it\u2019s going to look in the SERPs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Rich-Snippets\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\ud83c\udf52\u00a0Features<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now, let us quickly dive into the major features that Schema has to offer:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2192 Documentation<\/span><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s a <\/span>complete <\/b>video<\/b><\/a> on getting started with Schema by MyThemeShop. It explains everything starting from the installation to the setting up things in the theme. <\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcd1 As a developer, <\/span>documentation of code<\/b> is something that matters more than the user guide. Below is the screenshot of the code:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Code<\/a><\/div>\n

The code is not only readable but also commented properly. It would definitely make the customization a fun thing to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2192 In-built Review System<\/span><\/h3>\n

Another amazing feature of Schema to enhance SERPs ranking is its built-in review system. It allows the users and authors to review the content. Rich snippets would be generated based on the reviews and appear in SERPs. \ud83e\udd13<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Rating-Widget\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The review section itself looks pretty neat. The featured screenshot is of default review template. It <\/span>can even be customized <\/b>to fit in your theme to provide a smooth UI. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Review-Box-Customization\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\ud83c\udf1f\u00a0You can even customize the fields, rate by <\/span>percentage\/stars\/points<\/b>, and <\/span>enable\/disable the user reviews<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2192 Ad Management<\/span><\/h3>\n

Schema makes ad management easy. There\u2019s a dedicated section to ad management in Schema. With Schema, there\u2019s no need of installing third-party plugins to manage your ads. Head right to your ad management section and paste ads code to display ads on <\/span>top<\/b>,<\/span> bottom<\/b>,<\/span> and after the title<\/b> of your content.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd30This is the best feature as a blogger. Not many theme shops care about how some users want to put ads into their themes and just buying and setting up the theme is not enough for them. But not on MyThemeShop \u2014 they care!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Ad-Management-in-Schema\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u2192 Typography<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u270d Schema removes the need for additional CSS for typography on your site. In its dedicated typography section, you can completely customize the look and feel of text on your site. You can also <\/span>preview the text<\/b> while customizing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n

\u2192 Performance<\/span><\/h3>\n

Under the performance section, there\u2019s a whole lot of great features offered by Schema. In fact, few of the features are those which are usually provided by third-party plugins \u2013 <\/span>Lazy loading<\/b>,<\/span> prefetching<\/b>,<\/span> async JavaScript<\/b>,<\/span> scripts optimization<\/b>. \ud83d\ude80<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Performance<\/a><\/div>\n

\u2192 Layout Customization <\/span><\/h3>\n

From home, header, and footer customization to different sidebars for different contents, there\u2019s a whole bunch of great customization options. Let me quickly go through each of these:<\/span><\/p>\n
