wordpress theme speed performance comparison
At the start, excluding third-party dependencies, Astra turns out to be the fastest theme in the West

Astra might be (and probably is) the fastest WordPress theme in the whole Wild West.

A page generated with Astra, net of subsequent variations of third-party plugins and services, weighs about 30kb and can load even with less than 60 external calls. It is clear that the overall performance of a WordPress installation is given by a series of internal and external factors, but the point is that we are talking about a fast theme with clean code, able to easily support visual editors such as Beaver and Elementor for content development.

The library of sites it offers is large and this is a great advantage . The quality of the designs (and in some cases the code with which they are implemented) could then be discussed; let's just note that there is room for improvement.

Easy to configure, Astra remains a more than solid development solution even for non-technical people, with a cost that is not exactly insignificant (pro version) compared to its most direct competitors: $59 per year for unlimited sites (fee that includes 20 starter sites) or $249 in lifetime license.
