Speed is the primary architectural feature of Neve. It is engineered with a strict “mobile-first” philosophy, meaning it is optimised to perform on cellular networks before anything else. With a default install footprint of less than 30KB, it provides an immediate advantage for technical SEO.

I recommend Neve for simpler projects, landing pages, or high-traffic blogs where Time to First Byte (TTFB) is the only metric that matters. It strips away all non-essential code, ensuring that the infrastructure never impedes the user journey. It is compatible with AMP and works seamlessly with most builders, but its true strength lies in its raw velocity. It is the lightweight sprinter in my stack.
