Site Navigation/Overview
When I analyzed thechive.com, I thought the page wrap was narrow for a modern website. The content on thechive.com was generally very good: the pictures were in high definition and they were original images. I recommend increasing the page wrap on the single post and making the font size larger because I found the ideal zoom on the site was 120% rather than 100%. There weren’t many related pictures on the single post page. I recommended adding more related images to help increase the click-through rate. I noticed the sticky banner for related topics in the right sidebar when I scrolled down the post. Since there are not many related posts in general, I was fine with the sticky-related posts. However, in general, I don’t recommend anything sticky on websites because some users find the feature irritating which means they won’t give search engines good signals for your content.
