Introducing Suki: The Most Flexible and Fastest WordPress Theme

Today, we’re really excited to introduce to you, Suki. A free multipurpose WordPress theme that we’ve been developing to be the most flexible and fastest WordPress theme ever.

Why Did We Build Suki?

There are already a lot of good WordPress themes in the market. So why build another one?

We believe that every website should be both uniquely beautiful and really fast.

Before we started this project, we’ve done a lot of researches, tests, and also benchmarks on other popular themes in the market. We figured out that most of them have common problems.

Some themes are very lightweight and fast, but they lack flexibility and not really customizable. On the other hand, some themes offer flexibility through tons of options but it becomes bloated and slows down the website performance.

Those were the problems that we’re trying to solve in Suki. We wanted to build a theme that offers both flexibility and lightning fast performance altogether.

How Fast Is Suki?

Suki is not just “fast” – it’s “really fast”. On its core, we use the best coding practices to make sure that your website is rendered at the smallest page size and fastest load time.

Here’s what Suki does under the hood:

• Fewest number of requests.
  Suki adds only 2 requests to the frontend, which are 1 CSS file and 1 JS file.
• Tiny frontend resources.
  With WordPress standard content, the frontend page is only less than 30KB.
• No jQuery, just Vanilla JS.
  Suki doesn’t require jQuery or other javascript frameworks. It only uses Vanilla JS which is cleaner, smoother, and costs zero bytes to load.
• Inline SVG icons for all UI Icons.
  Unlike using Icon Font that adds a lot more requests to the frontend, Suki uses modern inline SVG Icons which is much slimmer, faster, and add no request at all.
• Optimum memory usage.
  Suki loads only the features that are needed on the currently loaded page, no memory is wasted.

So, how does Suki perform on a real website?

Recently we did some speed tests via GTMetrix, comparing Suki with Twenty Nineteen (WordPress default theme) and some other popular themes like GeneratePress and Astra. The tests run in the same server environment, with fresh installed content, and without any caching or optimization plugin installed. Here’s the result:

As seen in the results, Suki has the smallest page size and fewest number of requests compared to other themes, thus results in fastest page load time.
