Fletro Pro v6.1 is the current theme of SofanMax website. So, I'd like to compare this incredible template with its predecessor, the v6.0 which I still really love. I would also like to disclose my honest opinion on this incredible product. There are some surprising aspects that put this amazing template ahead of its competitors.

For most of 2021, SofanMax was running on the old Fletro Lite v.5.5 whose development unfortunately has been discontinued. It was an excellent theme until Blogger updated its image url structure. As a result, most of themes, including the Lite version, became obsolete and SofanMax was glitching. And so, I've decided to upgrade it to the latest version. And here is what I think about Fletro Pro v6.1!

My implementation of the latest Fletro Pro! |
1. Fletro Pro v6.1 is Premium Blogger Theme With Great Core Web Vitals
The elusive core web vitals is a new Google's metric that measure how user friendly your website is. It basically assess three elements. They are First Input Delay (FID), Large Contentful Paint (LCP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).
The basically they measure interactivity, loading speed, and visual stability. I will talk about this issue in detail in another article. For now, I just want to say that Fletro Pro v6.1 is perfectly capable of passing core web vital test! Based on my test, this theme offers zero FID and CLS, and super low LCP!
Here is the test result based on Google's PageSpeed Insight, with AdSense and Google Analytic enabled:
Fletro Pro v6.1 passes PageSpeed Insight Score With AdSense and GA
enabled. |
2.More Monetization Opportunity!
For people who would like to seriously monetize their blog, Fletro Pro v6.1 premium Blogger theme is currently a great option. The developer has optimized it for various ads space. Be it manual placement or auto ad, this template can handle AdSense very well. This theme also features manual anchor ad placement for mobile. You can easily enable or disable it anytime.3. Higher Accessibility Features
Fletro Pro v6.1 is very user-friendly. This premium Blogger theme offer dynamic font size accessible for website visitors. They can change it to small, medium or bigger for ease of reading. In addtion, the developer reworked the comment section style, making visitors easier to comment. The pop-up comment system certainly will drive more engagement.
This template is the only blogger theme that features a notification that can
be dismissed by the visitors. This notification appears at the top of the blog
so visitor will be able to read urgent short message! SofanMax enables this
feature to announce its present on Google New!
Furthermore,
Fletro Pro v6.1 is very compatible with new Blogger image url format. There
is no blurry thumbnail anymore!
The Downsides
I personally feel that, performance wise, Fletro Pro v6.1 does not offer
dramatic improvement over the previous version. This theme does fix the
potential LCP and CLS problem though.
Moreover, the v6.1 comes in a boring minimalist design. For instance, you would no longer be able to change the color of the header menu easily. The styling certainly has been scaled down, which is a bit unfortunate.
This theme still suffers from minor visual glitches, especially the footer size-part. Nevertheless, if you are familiar with CSS, customizing the style of this template will not become a problem.
Already own Fletro Pro v6.0? Should you upgrade it?
I also happen to own Fletro Pro v6.0, which I got technically for free as a compensation because the Lite was discontinued, thanks to the generous Jago Desain developer. I absolutely LOVE the v6.0 because it is much easier to customize, and its performance through the roof. But alas, Blogger Update also ruined it because of, again, the new image url schema.
Thankfully, the developer was able to fix the v6.0's glitch. For people who do
not want to upgrade to the Fletro Pro v6.1 version, the older one would still
run perfectly well! You will be able to fix the blurry image problem on the
older theme by joining Jago Desain Telegram channel, only available for people
who purchase the theme legally! Go join now!
So, if do not want to use Fletro Pro v6.1, the older one will still provide you with great performing website. I personally would not upgrade my websites that already run the v6.0 because changing theme is tedious.
Conclusion
Please pay attention, for people who have already purchased Fletro Pro v6.0,
you will automatically receive the newer version for free! If would like to
buy the v6.1 for the first time, the price will still be around $15! It is
still very cheap for all the features that you will get!
The newest v6.1 will definitely an improvement! After all, it is literally the
best premium Blogger template with high performance.
