What did you do?

Visit the page.

What did you expect to see?

A footer like this:
godoc-footer

Or like this:
golang-footer

Or this:
github-footer

Or this:
swiftdoc-footer

Etc.

What did you see instead?

The footer in use takes up a lot of screen real estate! When you're scrolling fast through the docs, you hit bottom and then between the footer and the sticky header, you get this little visor with which to see actual documentation. You then have to scroll back up a little bit to be seeing the actual bottom "page" of the docs.

In terms of the value of the content, you probably could check the stats on it, but I'm willing to bet most visitors to those pages would almost never click those links.

Suggestion would be to have a short footer, like the current godoc. Or maybe just take the bottom section of the current footer:

gopkg-suggest
