GeneratePress is a lightweight WordPress theme built with a focus on speed and usability. Performance is important to us, which is why a fresh GeneratePress install adds less than 10kb (gzipped) to your page size.

It is completely compatible with all major page builders, including Beaver Builder and Elementor. Thanks to our emphasis on WordPress coding standards, we can boast full compatibility with all well-coded plugins, including WooCommerce.

All in all, the new options of the GeneratePress theme builder let you add more flavor to your site, which helps you create something unique and beautiful. To make full use of it, however, some knowledge of CSS is required.

Astra is also a lightweight, multipurpose theme, weighing in at under 50 KB. It comes from Brainstorm Force, the same team behind a number of other popular plugins including Spectra and Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg/Elementor/Beaver Builder.

In general, Astra is a bit ahead in terms of the sheer number of features. But for most situations, both themes will give you all the options that you need. Most users will probably only notice a difference when it comes to some of the more niche features.

Astra seems very good at the start. But, it later gradually slows down as any other wordpress themes. It is not comparable with GP. When you use GP Premium, believe it or not, you are flying! Very clean and fast. I had used Astra before and it really disappointed me. Now I have been using GP for more than 2 years. You would not regret using GP.

I am currently searching for a new WordPress template to start a blog with. As a beginner in the field, I know the advice at the start is: write, write, write ... and write even more. However, since I also enjoy visual creativity, I would like to prevent a false start in terms of design. So, while reading up on themes and page builders, I actually became a bit overwhelmed! There are so many options!

As someone who values speed, versatility, and minimalism, I am looking for a theme that is lightweight, fast, and easy to customize. Some themes that have caught my eye include Astra, GeneratePress, and OceanWP. They seem fast, flexible, and (relatively) easy to customize. In addition, their optimization for performance renders the impression that they should be SEO-friendly!

In addition to themes, I also considered a page builder to customize/create custom layouts and designs. I have read positive things about Elementor, Beaver Builder, and Divi. These page builders allow for easy drag-and-drop customization, which seems pretty beginner-friendly.

In the past, I have experimented with Avada. However, I think the learning curve for more advanced features was a bit too steep for easy use, the theme didn't seem future-proof, and the system seemed somewhat bloated. Well, all-in-all, a valuable lesson.

To summarize the advice for those with a similar question, there were around 30 suggestions for themes and page builders. GeneratePress took first place with 13 positive experiences, followed by Kadence with approximately seven positive reactions, and Bricks in third place with four mentions. Some alternatives were also mentioned, such as Astra, Page Builder Framework, Oxygen Builder, and Breakdance Builder. Thanks again for sharing this wealth of information!

I installed the free version of the theme, and in a matter of 15 minutes, purchased the premium version. I could tell right off the bat; the developer thought precisely how I envisioned a theme should work.

I always test a new theme right out of the box without any customizations to see how fast the base is. This tells me a lot of what I can expect before adding plugins, scripts, etc. The tests were run on Kinsta hosting with PHP 8.

I use system fonts on my websites, and with previous themes, I had to add additional custom CSS to make that work. No more! GeneratePress uses system fonts right out of the box. This means no font files slowing down your website. But you can also choose any Google Font if you want something with a little more flare.

The block editor (Gutenberg) is still a little weird when it comes to styling and themes. Because of this, I simply have this snippet that defaults the editor back to the WordPress core version. This makes writing a lot nicer.

Hi,

Thanks for the Generatepress review.

I am currently using Divi.

I am considering switching to a full redesign using the paid version of the WP Types suite. they have a starter theme, but also recommended starting with GeneratePress or Ocean WP.

I actually purchased GP again to test the difference. It was quite a bit quicker for the same site than with the Astra theme. Just over one second quicker. Also, I am able to change the blog layout a bit more to my liking.

There are a few little things Astra did well but for sheer speed and clean design, GP is very impressive.

Hey Cecilia,

Glad you liked my review. I was kind of the same way. I have used more themes than I can count over the past decade, and fell in love with GeneratePress within minutes. It just clicks. Haha, I also bought the premium version in under an hour of using the free version as well.

Have you tried the Astra theme? If so how does it compare to GeneratePress? I am looking for WooCommerce Theme. Does GP work with WooCommerce? Finally, do you have any thoughts on Beaver Builder vs. Elementor? I am trying to finalize the ideal combination for a new WooCommerce site. Thank you.

I have not yet tried this theme yet, but hearing some awesome reviews everywhere about this theme. Recently I have shifted to focus blog theme and I read many positive reviews about Generatepress compared to thrive themes.

Hi, Brian

Thank you so much for your post, I am newbie for wordpress and use also generatepress. I would like to make my blog page just as the layout of your site , which means each post is boxed, while mine with generatepress is simply posts list without division between them. How do you get the card effect framed posts? Sorry for my easy question, maybe silly to you, but it really blocked me here. Thank you very much

For that reason, I the SQLite-Integration on quite some of my WP test-installations (which works fine, but not with all themes/plugins), so writing the basic setup to the database would not be a show-stopper. Unfortunately SQLite is not officially supported by WP ( :( ), which is a bummer, because using SQLite makes move, copy or backup sites as easy as pie.

In the world of website building/switching themes: Is it a case of finding a theme that is faster than the current one, and then applying it to what you already have and then trying to get your site to look like it did before by manipulating it in the new theme?? Seems like an endless trial..

I used GeneratePress theme on one of my sites a few years ago. It was a great theme but now they have added Elementor and Beaver page builders. Since they are providing a lot of features and add-ons, I think I should buy this theme. And your article is so compelling. I will definitely use it on one of my sites. Thanks

I switched my cooking blog from genesis to generatepress. That is a great thing after finding your article.

You are an expert, I am sure you do the same thing on all your blogs. Great theme, great review.

Hi, I bought generatepress premium after seeing the review and my page score went from 60/100 to 100/100 after following your optimization post. I want to know, how do you show a hover link with underline and color?

Hello.

This tutorial is very complete. Thanks for the contribution. I use Genesis on my websites. After reading this rating of GeneratePress I am interested to know if it is worth installing this theme and abandoning Genesis. I am interested first of all in the loading speed. What advantages does GeneratePress have over Genesis in terms of loading speed?

A GeneratePress installation is lightweight, adding less than 10kb to your page size. The theme supports the block editor (Gutenberg) as well as other popular page builders like Beaver Builder and Elementor. Additionally, most well-coded plugins, including LifterLMS (the best WordPress LMS plugin) and WooCommerce, work seamlessly with GeneratePress.

The theme offers customization through its color controls, typography options, navigation locations, and sidebar layouts. It ensures accessibility by adhering to WCAG 2.0 standards and supports over 25 languages.

While content is king, presentation plays an undeniable role in user engagement. Styling your GeneratePress theme for courses and coaching websites ensures they are visually appealing and encourages learners to delve deeper into your content.

Hello! If you're searching for the fastest WordPress theme, this video might be just what you need. It'll be quick - I want to demonstrate how I've optimized my website's speed and share a few of the things I did to achieve it. To start, I'll note that it's incredibly lightweight.

This website is created solely for SEO purposes, with the goal of generating search results for articles. As a result, it's built for SEO and is stripped of most features. However, if ranking articles is all you're after, this might be the theme for you.

Second, to achieve a website that's as fast as mine, it's important to strip away anything that's graphically or visually intensive, such as JavaScript or funky animations. The other key factor is running a clean and fast theme like GeneratePress. 2351a5e196
