We have used and tested several WordPress themes, such as Astra, Divi, and GeneratePress.
They all have their pros and cons, as any theme does.
However, it always felt like we were spending too much time trying to develop our website and perfect our design and not enough time writing content (anyone else?).
Then came a fast, customizable, intuitive, and, best of all, FREE WordPress theme – Kadence.
From the second we saw the free Kadence theme, we were blown away. It was everything we had hoped a theme would do (along with being fast), but after years of searching for a free premium WordPress theme, we had never found one… until now.
The Kadence theme checked the main 3 checkboxes we look for in a free WordPress theme:
- Lightweight, SEO-friendly code for fast page loading (helps your pages rank high in the SERPs)
- Tight integration with the Gutenberg WordPress editor
- Easy to use customizer interface so beginners can start a blog in less time
- (Bonus) A dedicated Gutenberg blocks plugin to extend Gutenberg and help replace page builders (Kadence Blocks)
The best part? The free Kadence theme gives you more options than most paid WordPress themes do.
Read out our complete Kadence Theme review to see what it offers in the free version and what additional features come with the pro version.

Kadence sounds like a solid choice, especially if it's delivering on speed and customization without the cost. Free themes that can hold their own against premium options are rare.
On content creation, I've been there. When you're bogged down with site design, content takes a backseat. I used AIMD app to keep up with content demands. It's a tool that generates SEO-optimized articles, which could save you time and help maintain your site's content without sacrificing quality. It's thorough, does keyword optimization, and even suggests internal linking, which could complement your theme's SEO-friendly code.
Balancing website design and content creation is tough. If Kadence is handling the design well, a tool like AIMD could help streamline your content strategy, keeping your site both looking good and filled with solid content.
