What is a menu?
A menu contains links to shows, videos, and other content so that your visitors can easily navigate around your site.
Eye-tracking research shows that people scan web pages in an F pattern.
A good balance between the top navigation menu and the left navigation menu could make it easier for your users to scan through your content.
Left navigation facilitates vertical scanning, which improves speed and allows users to see numerous links at once.
At the same time, you can use the top navigation (header) to give minimal guidance when the side menu is collapsed
