Choosing WordPress Theme wisely for your website

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Small but one of the important aspects in speeding up the website is Choosing Theme Wisely.

Even if you are using one of the best server and CDN services, it won’t be enough to get a website with good performance if you use a crappy theme with bloated code.

Some themes are very heavy as they drag lot of elements from outside & thus increase HTTP requests. So, it really becomes important to change the theme and that makes your task more labour-intensive.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

WHAT MAKES THEME HEAVY

  1. Unnecessary animations
  2. Giant Sliders (Forced unnecessarily by the theme)
  3. Unclean codes

FACTORS FOR SELECTING THE RIGHT THEME

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]It is recommended to follow all these instructions as illustrated (in given sequence).

It is easy to add functionalities in lighter themes and make it look as you want it to be, but removing provided theme functions which are not needed is a tricky and risky task. Risky because if some loops get broken while working on customizing the theme, it may cause the site to stand still or can start making unending PHP processes which will make your website inaccessible or site will crash as soon as there is a jump in traffic on it. So it is recommended to go for a light theme than a heavy theme with some instantly good looking tweaks.

If you really want a website with large functionality then you can go for a light theme with plugins that provide that functionality, and do use a plugin with clean codes of JS and CSS and good reviews.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
