Tabs are an important aspect of your website's usability. In fact, tabs serve as a tool for analyzing, sorting and prioritizing data, especially for younger generations of Internet users, who perceive tabs as standard functionality.

Tabs are especially important for product pages, as they allow you to separate product info and other useful details through a set of properly thought out tabs. This differentiation allows you to make your product pages more 'clean' and easier to perceive by your visitors. There are tons of great Magento tab extensions that you definitely need to check out, if you're still struggling with proper product information presentation and management. Maybe this is something that can boost your conversions. Some of the best solutions in this category are featured below.

Homepage Tabs Slider

Although it has 'homepage' in its name - this extension is far more versatile. It allows you to insert tabbed interfaces in any of the CMS pages and static blocks. Not to mention that this solution is fully responsive right out of the box, so your mobile tabs will also look great, as long as the number of tabs is fairly reasonable. This might also work, as a custom menu, if you're OK with having everything on the same page and let go of some of the SEO benefits. Some of the most important features of this product:  

Unlimited number of tabs

Various sliding effects available

4 months of free support

Flexible tab loading modes (for performance optimization)

Product in Tabs

This is a simple free alternative to some of the similar extensions out there. Of course, you'll not be getting some of the perks, like free installation. But the available functionality is more than enough to make it up for the lack of support. The installation and management is very simple and it allows to manage your tabs practically without any coding skills. The instructions are pretty simple to follow. It may not be compatible with your version of Magento, so be sure to verify this info before installing. Some of the features:

Customizable appearance 

Very simple installation (static block installation available)

Customize product info, appearing in the tabs

Ultratabs

This extension is particularly useful for product information pages, which allows you to easily customize the tabs with necessary static blocks, social media buttons and other important attributes of a great product page. One of the biggest benefits of this extension is its price - for less than $20, you get a set of options and customizations, usually available with pricier extensions in this niche.

Accordion effect supported for smaller resolutions 

Google fonts support

Multi-store functionality 

Easy Tabs

Probably one of the best free extensions on this list. The developers at Template Master also provide free support for this product through their help desk, which is very nice of them. They also created a very easy to comprehend user guide. Superb, actually, for a free extension like this. So, even if you're a non-tech person, you'll find this product easy to use. Some of the features:  

Dynamic tabs

Tons of customization available through the admin panel

Great compatibility with various Magento versions (updated all the time)

Tabs by BelVG

A very solid extension in this niche from a very reputable and experienced developer. It has most of the features, available with extensions, mentioned previously. At the same time, it might be a bit on the pricier end of Magento tab extensions. Although, you do get great support (free for 1 year) and documentation in return. Some of the prominent features of this extension:

WYSIWYG editor for tabbed content

Unlimited number of tabs and tab blocks on a page

Money back guarantee, if you're not satisfied with its functionality 

Advanced Tabs

This one focuses on tabs with products, instead of tabs on product pages. This extension allows you to easily separate products with tabs, based on their various attributes (name, price, size, color, etc.). Very convenient for stores with a small number of products that don't want to create a filtering system, which might affect page performance and sometimes confuse visitors. Some of the features that this Magento tab extension has: 

Sorting options within tabs

Flexible tab configuration (enable/disable, etc.)

Competitive price

Tabbed Checkout

This extension focuses on the checkout process. It offers you an alternative to both, one page checkout and multi-page checkout processes. Sometimes one-page checkouts are thoroughly confusing, especially when vendors tend to stuff them with all of the payment info requirements. Multi-page checkouts are famous for draining your conversion rates, if done improperly. This is the middle ground, which offers less clutter and transforms the checkout into a more seamless process. 

Skip cart pages and go directly to checkout

Compatible with mobile devices

A ton of customization options for the checkout steps

Product Tabs Slider

This is a great solution for product pages that allows some additional customization options, like adding a substantial number of tabs, as this extension has a handy slider available. This means that people can scroll/slide through the available tabs. Of course, it's not recommended, as too many tabs will simply make comfortable navigation impossible. Some of the features include:

Select store views

Select which tabs to show for particular store views/stores

Installation

The price includes installation by the developer

SEO

The tabs are fully indexed by the search engines
