“I’m using GeneratePress (or Astra or whatever) and I’ve heard that the Hello theme is a lot faster, do you think I should switch to the Hello theme?”
If you have to ask that question, you’ve given yourself away as someone who should definitely not try using the Hello theme. – Christian Nelson, friend of PagePipe
Hello Elementor? Don’t use the theme. Seriously. Elementor page builder works with any theme just dandy. It’s not your theme slowing things down.
But 60,000 other people are using it! And it’s free. That means it’s good. Right? Sorry. Popularity is overrated. Your mother told you that. And 60,000 active installations is achieved by many themes that SUCK.
EXCEPTION:Don’t use Divi theme. Please. Ever.
Godspeed-
