With thousands of themes available, it’s easy to get distracted by “shiny” features. However, many “all-in-one” themes are bloated with excessive code and scripts you’ll never use, which can destroy your page load speeds. A reliable theme should be lightweight, regularly updated by developers, and built with modern coding standards.
Look for themes that prioritize performance and accessibility, such as Astra, GeneratePress, or Kadence. These “starter” themes give you a clean foundation that you can build upon without the lag. Avoid themes that haven’t been updated in over six months or those that force you to use a specific, heavy page builder. When we build or migrate sites, we help our clients select themes that are optimized for Core Web Vitals, ensuring a fast experience for every visitor.
