Menu Order

💡 In this guide, you will adjust the website navigation order so visitors see the most important pages first. Estimated time: 3 minutes.

Menu order affects what visitors notice first. A common order is Home -> Products -> News / Blog -> About Us -> Contact Us.

Keep only core entries and test every link

Do not put too many items in the top-level menu. Visitors first need Home, Products, Posts/Cases, About, and Contact.

After changing the order, open the frontend and click every menu item to confirm there is no 404.

If you have key business pages such as OEM, Solutions, or Services, place them after Products or before Contact Us.
