The main website redesign (Nov 20, 2022) resembles a parked domain / spam website.

The main website was updated recently, and now it looks like one of those squatted / parked domains designed to attract keyword searches.

I had to use the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to find that it was updated on Sunday, November 20.

Before: https://web.archive.org/web/20221119214440/https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/
After: https://web.archive.org/web/20221120155835/https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/

The menu bar is an improvement, though; thanks for that. However, the main page has very little fresh content "above the fold." The ranker / finder / chart lines take up more space than before.

The last article written by SNB staff is Tom Higgins' review of <$100 routers, which is over a year old. What has happened to SNB's writing staff? Is this site in danger of closing? The forums have the most value for the site's users, but bring very little money. Writing new articles is the best way to ensure that SNB stays relevant.
 
I had occasion to visit it recently myself, and I was quite pleased with the redesign. If that made it more mobile-friendly, so much the better.

It's visually impaired friendly. :)

Little bit of a necro post, but just saw this. Please see this thread. Ignore the title and scroll down a few posts into the thread.
