Fastest is a record-holder among other Magento 2 theme newcomers. This theme offers 10 various layout designs. Besides, you can choose between two different approaches to mobile devices after installing the Fastest Magento 2 theme. Below, we describe its core features, functionality, and elements.
First of all, let’s have a look at the theme’s layout designs. While other Magento 2 templates often offers 5 main variations of appearance, Fastest has surprised us with more than 10 options available out of the box. Note that there are more themes described on the theme’s page on ThemeForest, but we’ve combine some of them. With the Fastest Magento 2 template you can easily create an online storefront for the following categories: fashion, jewelry, pharmacy, handbags and accessories, sportswear, outdoor gear, food, grocery, baby goods, and supermarket.
It is also necessary to mention that you can easily create a right to left ecommerce website with this Magento 2 template. If you have customers in regions where writing starts from the right of the page and continues to the left, this feature is a must.
As for mobile devices, Fastest provides the ability to create a fully responsive website or to use a mobile optimization theme for your ecommerce store. We do not know what approach is more useful but having a choice is always better than having to deal with its absence.

Homepage
The first thing you see on the homepage is a newsletter popup. Although, it is quite annoying but at the same time a reliable source of subscribers. In our demo, the popup not only asks to subscribe, but also offers a 20% discount.
The menu is highly customizable. You can arrange all links into several columns and add images and blocks with various content such as offers related to discount.
There is also a slider with various information and nice transition effects (visit the demo to see them in action).
Next, you have a section with products. In the demo, it is called New Trend Fashion. Hover over each product, and you will summon 3 buttons: Add to Cart, Quick View, and Add to Compare.
Quick View is available without page reloads. It contains product images, name, SKU, price, and overview. Besides, you can choose quantity (nothing about colour or size in our demo), add a product to cart, wishlist, or compare, as well as share it on social networks.
Note that there is the Load More button in the end of the section with products.
Below, you can find three blocks with different information.
Next, there are bestsellers with the same hover over effects.
Latest blog posts are available below.
Other elements are: slider with companies, subscription section, and footer.
Category Page
An ordinary catalog page of the Fastest Magento 2 theme offers lots of filters. Each filter parameter displays the number of items related to it. Unfortunately, you can apply only one parameter of each filter.
Unlike products on the homepage, products on the category page display available color options and sizes. You can add them to a wishlist as well.
Hover over a product image, and you will see already familiar buttons, but this time a product quick view popup provides the ability to choose size and color before adding an item to cart.
Product Page
As for a product page, it contains product images, name, SKU, rating, descriptions, in-stock availability information, price, color and size options, social buttons, description, etc. You can add a product to cart, wishlist, or compare. Besides, it is possible to choose the quantity of items. Note that there is even a size chart.
Details, additional information, and reviews are gathered under three separate tabs.
There can also be a section with related products below.
Cart
Cart preview is available as a sticky element below the page.
It contains all your goods, illustrating the quantity of each as well as showing the total number of items and subtotal. You can proceed to checkout or edit each item (change quantity or delete it).
Another cart quick view popup is available in a sticky top menu. Click on the cart icon and you will see the following window.
The cart page allows you to edit items, delete them from cart or clear everything. Besides, you can continue shopping or update cart.
