  4. you're great man, thank u so much I've read tons of articles and nobody give such a clear and techy answer, I'm definetely will get rid of astra and work with generate press. Also recently I saw that elementor creates 4 times more code than Gutenberg and experts say that Gutenberg creates more code than classic editor, so I decided to use Gutenberg to reduce big crap code

  6. Neve is OK. But please keep in mind that if you purchase paid upgrade, it will become a mandatory yearly subscription. And if you decide to STOP the subscription all pro features will be stripped-away. BE VERY CAREFUL with that, if you stop the subscription many links on your site (like your custom menus liks etc.) will break and your site's SEO will be severely DAMAGED. If you are ok with yearly subscription, which has increased nearly 20% from last year, neve is OK template to use. I am very disappointed in how ThemeIsle operates.

  7. Tony – – this is a awesome video – many many thanks – BTW: it would be a pleasure if you could come up with more videos – eg. some that cover the newset version of WordPress – the V 6.1❤🔥

  8. I don't think that your tests are valid.
    I think that to have a fair test, the content of the different themes should be identical.
    That is, visually all themes should display the same.
    It's like taking different cars with different engines and weight and pitting them against each other.
    I am not a big maven in website development but I would try to make a website in one theme and then try and convert it to another theme (and fixing elements that will probably break in the conversion) and do the comparison then.

  12. what a great job, thx Tony 🙂
    BTW is there any fastest Free woocommerce theme u recommend me to go with? i liked Woostify but it really slow :/ and a little bit buggy. thanks in advance.

  13. Hi. I just rewatched the video and… Generate press seems like a cool WordPress theme, but.. what's up with Elementor free? I don't see anything added to the 'normal' wordpress. Am I missing something? Where are the 40+ Basic Widgets and the website builder? All I get is the standard WP builder… Please help.

  17. Hi

    I am planning to buy cloud hosting and was wondering how much ram and how many cores do I require for a wordpress website that have around 2 million visitors per month what are you suggest to me between digitalocean/linode/vultr to build site like this spoilerguy.com Please if you can guid me i'm just a complete beginner.

    Thanks in advance.

  19. Thanks for your video Tony. However, I expected a deeper analysis. I did not understand the meaning of measuring the weight of the uncompressed template, nor the number of files and folders. Both the weight and the number of files do not reflect how fast the theme is. The weight and number of requests should be analyzed by measuring the theme applied in the front of the website. That is, by measuring the template directly on the website.

  23. Man, I somehow managed to get my site's score up with generatepress (obviously, with the help of your videos & the feedback you gave me last time) but, now, you're saying HELLO ELEMANTOR! I mean what should I do now?
