Magazine style WordPress themes are very popular as it shows a good number of posts on the homepage. Especially for tech and news blog, magazine style theme is a requisite.

    Dear Harsh,
    I am using hueman as my theme. But the server response time is more than 1 sec in google page speed insights.Is this it a heavy theme with lot of js and css ?. Can you please suggest any lightweight free themes. Thank you in advance

    Hi Harsh, do you have a post on blog themes? Recently, I tried changing my theme just to make it better looking. I have not gone live with it. But just changed it for half an hour. This drove a lot of traffic to my blog. I checked the source and it was ‘wordpress dashboard’. What does this mean? Do you know how this happened? Could it possibly be that the new theme is more seo friendly?
