WordPress Theme Migration & Speed

I’m running a WordPress site that still sits on a 2012 theme. The outdated code is dragging down load times and hurting Core Web Vitals, so the priority is a full theme migration that noticeably boosts performance on desktop and mobile. I haven’t picked a replacement yet and need your guidance selecting a fast, lightweight, regularly updated theme. Once we agree on the best option, you’ll rebuild the site on a staging environment, keep every page, post, menu, SEO setting, and any essential widgets or plugins intact, then fine-tune caching and configuration before we push live. Deliverables • 3–5 theme recommendations focused on speed, with clear pros/cons • Staging setup and full content migration to the chosen theme • Performance optimisation and Lighthouse / GTmetrix reports showing improvement • Zero-downtime launch on the live domain and a post-launch check-in If you have a solid track record in WordPress theming, site optimisation, and smooth cut-overs, I’d love to hear how you would tackle this and your estimated timeline.
