Coinflip - Casino Affiliate & Gambling WordPress Theme

[ddm]

^ run all the demo sites in lighthouse, googles pagespeed insights tool, and their mobile friendly tool. if they are 90% + in all 4 "boxes", no doubt you can hire the theme developers themselves for tweaks..

I know that one member here for example got a custom theme /child theme built by one of the above mentioned theme creators, and some custom bits and bobs done.. - probably at a very reasonable hourly rate.

edit: messaged him to chime in, if he wants to.


Hosting - I use brixly uk - unlim reseller hosting for 20$ month - w/ like 30 sites on it. can recommend.
[*note that HOSTS don't speed shitty code up, or fix shitty plugins or bad development decisions - this is all hype]

 

[ddm]

you mention "Google AMP"

^ forget about this amp stuff - seriously.
Avoid + ignore google.
It's good for them, - and bad for affiliates for tons of reasons I won't get into here.

I've been running with HostGator for decades. Never really ran anything more than fairly basic, static sites, and a couple of Worpress sites that didn't get much traffic.

I've run lighthouse on each of the different providers, and while most scored in the green on best practices and SEO (links to screen caps):

PokaTheme 3.0 - 76 = 78 = 93 = 91
PokaTheme 2.21 child - 65 = 78 = 93 = 91
Mercury Esports temp - 62 = 63 = 93 = 92
Mercury Casino temp - 73 = 73 = 93 = 92
Game Zone Casino - - 42 = 88 = 87 = 92
BeTheme Casino - - 22 = 47 = 73 = 92
CoinFlip BookMaker - 17 = 84 =87 = 92
Poker Dice template - 53 = 57 = 87 = 92
FlyTonic Casino temp - 68 = 78= 67 = 88
FlyTonic Suited Plugin - 80 = 88 = 80 = 70
Vegas Hero template - 48 = 80 = 93 = 71

I could have sworn I had one hit 100% on the SEO once; I believe it was Game Zone, but as you can see none of them score well across the board.

I can certainly see your point in that having a smart Developer who really knows what they're doing can make a world of difference, especially when you just want to concentrate on content.

Looks like overall, Poka and Mercury can get the closest, with some help needed in Performance and Accessibility.

Any other suggestions on ones that I may have missed? Surprised with all the hype over FlyTonic, their numbers weren't solid, and you need both a Template AND their Plugin, rather than it all just being template based.

I do hope the person you mentioned chimes in -- I'd like to know who they went with and what mods were needed for peak performance.

Many Thanks again!

These 2 posts above = ??? Where are all these newbies coming from. It's like everyone is signing up just to post nonsense. Maybe AGD should look at vetting people's first posts to see if they are relevant to this forum?

@BetReels - I'm surprised 1'st posters can post links. Surely vetoing new-members, would be a good step forward, given, how many spammers arrive here, but worse, get a free ticket to post (spam)...

I find it hilarious reading their posts lol.
Especially those posted by ones with a whole face profile. 99.9% fake...
But on a serious note, this forum starts looking abandoned.

Random spammers aside (lol…), I’ve used this particular theme on one of our websites recently and found it super functional and easy to use. Question though, does Coinflip normally email users on important updates or anything?

I remember an old GPWA thread where someone launched a very specific gambling theme — seemed to be super popular for the first few months it was available — but then just dropped off the face of the earth and no one seemed to provide any updates from there on out.

That thene was protethus (or similar name) which was very popular, then the developers split up
