First of all I want to show the importance on fast webpage loading for search engine ranking and other reasons.
- Google have stated that it ranks websites on the basis of page speed or low page loading time.
- Internet users hate slow websites and if a website takes time in load then they leave the page at once.
Below are the 4 themes having light page weight and optimized for SEO. Loading time for these themes are really very low. You can observe following improvement while using these themes
- Increased Googlebot visits to your website
- Decreased bounce rate
- Increased search result position (SERP) ranking and then increased traffic

Absolutely “Thesis” is fastest loading theme which i am using currently, I would suggest “Swift” also suitable to add in this list…
Heard of swift,a while back, never gave it a try.
But I think Swift is in beta.
I have try Wootheme, Thesis and I think some Wootheme working better than Thesis as well.
well, I am trying a couple of woothemes on some of my other new blogs and they seem to be pretty good.
I think it also depends on how many images you add or how many plugins you load. This all can influence your page load speed.
Also some ads can slow down your webpage.
Cutting down on useless plugins, can have a great impact on your loading time.
Well HTML and external lookups for scripts,Images etc affect page load time.
Valid and optimize CSS also matters.
