A deliberately minimal theme shell designed to hand layout and styling to Elementor. Its blank baseline excludes the required builder cost.
Choose it because Elementor is already the workflow—not because the empty shell wins a theme-only speed chart.
This is the official WordPress.org preview under Lighthouse’s simulated mobile conditions. It is the fairest current cross-theme control we have—but it is not a realistic completed site.
Theme choice sets a floor, not a ceiling. The meaningful unit for your project is the configured stack.
Dependency warning: the official theme preview does not represent an Elementor-built production page. Compare the full builder stack.

The first snapshot creates a baseline. Future runs will preserve the tested version rather than silently replacing old numbers.
