10 Best SEO Optimized WordPress Themes 2021

Search engine optimization (SEO) is an important factor to consider when trying to improve your website ranking on Google. Earlier this month, we wrote an article regarding how keyword research tools can help you identify useful keywords to include in your articles and get access to your competitors’ strategies for growing organic traffic. However, another important step to achieving a SEO optimized website is to choose a theme that is specifically coded to perform better on search engines due to their well designed layout and fast loading times.

I present to you the 10 Best SEO Optimized WordPress Themes from several different theme providers that all have their own unique style, so feel free to choose the best one for your website.

Interactive

2-interactive

Interactive is a magazine type WordPress theme from MyThemeShop. They are always my favorite theme developers because of how they create a seamless experience for visitors and also offers a ton of functionality at an affordable price. To the buyers, the theme can be their best fit if they are looking to create a magazine/news/portal based website.

It offers multiple homepages for uniqueness and loads super fast, despite its complicated looking frontend. The backend is simplistic and offers enough options to customize the theme according to your requirements. The only downside is the lack of a drag and drop builder. Nowadays, almost all of the themes comes with one, which makes it easier for anyone to customize the front-end without entering any code.

Few key features of the theme are the social media integration, powerful theme panel, easy installation process, child theme support, etc.

For the viewpoint of SEO, it loads fast and is coded well. SEO is important for any niche, but for magazine/news website, the importance is at least doubled in many aspects.

GoodLife is yet another magazine theme that I am going to discuss. So, what made me choose the theme for the article other than its SEO friendliness? The goodies. The theme offers seven pre-build demos to get started, including Life, Sports, Game, Look, Tech, etc. All these demos enable you to get started with your niche as quickly as possible.

The SEO optimized plugin can track you and your competitor’s keywords inside the dashboard! Other free plugins included with the theme are Essential Grid, Maintenance Pro, and Viral Quiz Builder.

You can customize the theme according to their preference. You can choose from 5 article pages, 4 Gallery and video pages, and three different header styles. GoodLife is a great theme for anyone who is going to create a magazine website.

Overall, Magazine Pro is an excellent package for your next project. It is simplistic, ultra SEO optimized, responsive and meets the modern theme design.

To use the theme, you need to get the Genesis Framework. As all the Genesis themes are child themes, the requirement cannot be bypassed. But, before I suggest the theme to anyone, bear in mind the fact that Genesis themes such as Magazine Pro have limited customization options. Being limited is not bad at all. The limitation is highly beneficial for the SEO purposes. The Genesis themes are the best ones when it comes to SEO and fast loading time. So, if you are purely looking for SEO friendliness, choose Magazine Pro or any other Genesis theme, and then hire a Genesis developer to help you out with customization.
