Built for Speed: 12 Free and Fast Loading WordPress Themes
April 7, 2011
Earlier in the week I took a look at some of the ways that you can speed up your WordPress website. To follow that up I thought I’d go out and see if I could find some fast loading WordPress themes for you speed freaks to use. I used Google’s brand new online speed test tool to test a whole bunch of pages from the WordPress Theme Directory and from some other sources. I’ve only included themes which scored 80 or above on Google’s speed test so you can be guaranteed that these are some fast loading themes.
A Thought for Network Admins
If you run a WordPress Multisite Network and you’re struggling with your blog load times you might want to consider only using fast themes, such as the ones below. They can be a great way to inch the speed up across your network.
Magnolia
Chaos Theory
Toolbox
TwentyTen
Suburbia
Blogum
Swift
Scherzo 2.0
Update:
Oenology
