Since the Hello theme is only a blank canvas, the rating of Hello is only possible in combination with Elementor Pro. So this rating reflects the Hello Theme together with the Pro version of the Page Builder.
| Pros |
|---|
| Best compatibility with Elementor |
| Best performance (w/o header and footer) |
| Cons |
|---|
| All pages need to be designed from scratch |
| Strong dependence on Elementor |
| Pro version of Elementor not required but highly recommended |
The Hello theme weighs only 24.3 KB. It loads just one single CSS file and therefore causes only one additional request to the server. This is the best performance you can get with Elementor, but please keep in mind that there is no header and footer included in the performance test.
* The performance test was carried out with GTmetrix.com. The Theme was activated on a WordPress Multisite subsite together with the plugins “Elementor” and “All in One WP Security”. After the Lighthouse update, the new GTmetrix tool also includes the TBT (Total Blocking Time) and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) metrics in the report. However, since both metrics were zero for almost all tested Themes, the overview includes the figures “Requests” and “Page Size” from the Waterfall Chart. The table shows the best result after repeating the test 3-5 times.
If you are looking for alternatives to the Hello theme, you probably want a fast-loading theme with high flexibility while designing your pages with Elementor. From my point of view good alternatives are:
And if you want to replace Hello and Elementor Pro you need a WordPress Theme where you can display template parts conditionally. Therefore you can use the Pro version of the mentioned themes as alternatives:
