WP: New Site Theme - approach opinion

Diceicle · 2022-04-04 12:58:40

I'm doing a small agency-type WP site for a friend. Current site is a bit bloated and slow - not overly (IMO) but everyone wants a faster site..... I'm intending on simply replacing the theme and stripping out obsolete plugins and images etc rather than doing a full replace and fresh install of WP. Is there anything…

Is there anything inherently wrong with this approach or anything I should be aware of??

Thanks.

Have you considered using Gatsby to deliver the frontend while keeping the WordPress backend?
