WordPress Website Webdesign

WordPress is one of the most popular CMS (=content management systems) with a current market share of almost 65% (according to Statista). Among other things, this software is suitable for a small website that can be set up relatively quickly and with an appealing WordPress web design. I have found that Google accepts WordPress websites very quickly. With the right on-page optimization, sites created with WordPress are listed high up in Google search results.

With almost 60,000 WordPress plugins and over 9,500 themes (website layouts), you can do (almost) anything on a WordPress website. Of course, you can also create your own theme or extend an existing theme with a child theme. If you then program your own plugins, the possibilities for your WordPress website are endless.

WordPress vs. Google vs. Webseiten-Webdesign

When choosing a web design theme, however, there are many points to consider. Of course, the WordPress web design should correspond to your own CD and it should be appealing. But do the search engines also like it? The ranking of a website on Google, for example, also depends heavily on the performance of the site. I have seen some beautiful WordPress themes, but the speed of the site often suffers as a result of the WordPress web design.

So you should always test the loading speed when searching for a theme. You can check this either with “PageSpeed Insights” or with Lighthouse in the Chrome browser. Here, the “Performance”, ‘Accessibility’ and “Best Practices” points should at least come close to 90% in the test. So that you can then achieve values above 90% in as many tests as possible on your own site with cache plugins or similar.
