Who wants to wait for a page to load when another site is available just one click away?&nbsp;<\/p><p>Many different factors contribute to the performance of a website. Some sites offer advanced features, while others offer simple content. The truth is, no matter what your site looks like, you want it to be fast, so visitors will stay on your page longer and have an enjoyable experience.&nbsp;<\/p><p>As Google describes, to offer a great page experience, you should be looking for a WordPress theme that performs well over time (even when there&#8217;s heavy traffic). The good news is, Astra and OceanWP are both pretty lightweight themes!<\/p><p>But why should you use a lightweight theme?&nbsp;<\/p><p>Lightweight themes are your best bet if you&#8217;re looking for a website that loads quickly and is easy on the server. Their files are smaller in size than a regular WordPress theme because it comes only with the most necessary features needed by a theme. And last but not least, lighter themes use fewer resources from servers due to simpler code quality.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Your WordPress theme is the cornerstone of your site. It sets up a framework for how quickly pages load, and it also affects what people think about your design when they visit.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Let\u2019s run a few performance tests using the Lighthouse technology to see which one between Astra or OceanWP is faster! Our audit will help you decide which theme will work best for your needs.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>\ud83d\udcdd <\/strong>Both themes come with advanced premium add-ons, but we will focus on their<strong> free <\/strong>versions in our guide.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methodology to Test Astra and OceanWP Performance<\/h2><p>To test Astra vs Ocean WP performance, we\u2019ll run three separate speed tests with the following settings:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Themes that we will test: the free version of Astra and OceanWP<\/li><li>Performance tools: Google PageSpeed Insights and Pingdom (Servers: Europe, London)<\/li><\/ul><p>We will follow three scenarios:<\/p><p><strong>\u23f1\ufe0f <\/strong><a href=\"#scenario-1\">Scenario #1<\/a>: We\u2019ll just test the speed upon activation of each theme, no content added, no WP Rocket.<\/p><p>\u23f1\ufe0f <a href=\"#scenario-2\">Scenario #2<\/a>: We&#8217;ll build a regular homepage using the WordPress Editor:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&nbsp;A logo<\/li><li>A hero header with an image (210 KB), a title, and a subtitle<\/li><li>&nbsp;4 images boxes (80 KB) with text content<\/li><li>Some bullet points with text<\/li><li>3 testimonials&nbsp;<\/li><li>One call-to-action button&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><p>Then we will compare the performance results respectively while using Astra and OceanWP.&nbsp;<\/p><p>\u23f1\ufe0f <a href=\"#scenario-3\">Scenario #3<\/a>: We&#8217;ll measure the performance when the <a href=\"https:\/\/wp-rocket.me\/features\/\">WP Rocket cache plugin<\/a> is activated.
