The #1 downloaded WordPress Theme in the world...

When you are looking to build a website, you have tons of different theme options.

You can go with a free theme. You can go with a default WordPress theme.

Or you can select from thousands of premium themes.

Did you know that the #1 downloaded WordPress theme in the world is the Astra theme?

Believe it or not, the Astra Theme was only released in 2017.

In 2020 it even became the first-ever non-default theme to have over 1 million active installations.

Since then, it has gone on to become the number 1 downloaded WordPress theme in the world.

It is the only non-default WordPress theme reach over 1 million active installations, a milestone that was reached in 2020.

It continues to be extremely popular, and each day there are between 4 and 6 thousand new downloads! What!?

These numbers are significantly higher than the next most popular WordPress theme installations:

  • OceanWP has 700,000+ active installations
  • Elementor's Hello theme has 600,000+ active installations
  • GeneratePress has 300,000+ active instalations

Why has the Astra theme become the number one choice for bloggers, designers, and other website builders?

Well, that's the exact question we dive into today with our Astra 3.0 review.

See why the Astra theme is such an interesting WordPress theme by reading our review right here.

I'll be honest, if I were starting a new site, I'd most likely go with the Astra theme. I may even consider trying it out on some of my existing niche sites because it appears to be so fast and easy to use.

The Astra team recently released a big update that has made it even faster and introduced a totally new way of building headers and footers (among other things).

We've been testing it out over the past week and must say that the improvements are pretty cool!

Even before the recent updates, Astra was already known as a lightweight, blazing-fast theme. The changes have now made it up to 25% faster.

This will be of interest to site-speed freaks!

Be sure to read our full review above to see all the existing and new features of Astra 3.0.

Finally, as part of this big new release for the Astra theme, I contacted the founder and he agreed to give a 20% discount to the Niche Pursuits audience.

So, if you'd like to try out the Astra theme for 20% less, simply go through this special link right here.

Thanks again for reading!
