Responsive Classic (built in to Zen Cart v1.5.5) [Support Thread]

[Nick1973]

Ok no worries Dr Byte. I'll do what you said then as that basically gives me an answer. And I'm sorry for not sounding more clear. The cart was built on 1.5.4 so I do need to upgrade it anyway. It's taken me over a year to get it to the stage it is at, basically because I am dealing with clients and do not have much time to work on my own work. And that is also why it has fallen behind a little. I gathered it would be easier to continue on 1.5.4 and then deal with upgrades afterwards. I think Website Rob and Schoolboy went totally off track, but then perhaps they didn't understand what I was asking. In answer to Schoolboy regarding page speed though, my template is CSS driven and the only graphics such as PNG's and Jpegs are literally product images and the logo. I haven't tested page speed but I'd have thought as it relies heavily on CSS to render buttons, gradients, backgrounds, etc etc (note: no graphics such as PNG's or JPEGS applied into CSS) it would be pretty quick. And of course anyway, page speed is dependent on the end users internet connection. Google might well be going down that route now, but as broadband gets faster for everyone then people want more graphics and video which takes up more bandwidth so while I understand your point regarding mobile and page speed, you only have to look around at other platforms to see how heavily they make use of graphics etc...so it would not surprise me if google changes their mind. Certainly alot people I speak to have a tendency to use their mobiles for browsing on the go, and make purchases from their Laptop or Desktop PC. Partly because of security and also because certainly for some items a mobile screen simply isn't big enough to view a product in detail. I'm not saying I'm ignorant to mobile users, but while it is a trend at the moment, it doesn't mean to say the trend will last.

Anyway I didn't come on here to be told what is right and wrong, for which we could go on forever arguing about who has the most knowledge and talking about the weather etc, I came on to ask a question, for which Dr Byte appears to have answered and for that I am greatful for.
