| With Divi, you get a full theme and page builder. It also comes with starter websites that you can import instantly Divi vs Astra.
With Astra, you can choose to pair it with any page builder plugin (like Elementor or Beaver Builder). Themes that are paired with page builders tend to load faster than those that are not.
Features
In terms of performance, Divi has come leaps and bounds over the past year. It now has incredible speed and a slew of other features that make it one of the best themes available for WordPress. This includes reduced CSS, intelligent CSS that only loads what’s needed, and elimination of render-blocking CSS. It also has SEO settings for all pages, a search engine-friendly header structure, and AMP compatibility.
Astra is a lightweight theme that doesn’t require its own page builder. This means it’s compatible with many different builders, including Elementor, Beaver Builder, and Brizy. It also has starter sites that can be imported to jumpstart your project.
Astra offers premium support with 24/7 chat and a knowledgebase. It also has a Facebook community for users to interact with each other and share their ideas. It also integrates with third-party plugins like Gutenberg, Elementor, and LearnDash. It also supports Schema markup for search engines to better index your content.
Pricing
When it comes to pricing, Astra is cheaper than Divi. It offers lifetime access and features a one-time payment plan, making it a great choice for design agencies. It also has a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Astra uses less resources than Divi, so it loads faster. Its file size is also much smaller, which can improve website performance. It is compatible with WordPress Gutenberg and has a plugin to add the new blocks. It also has Woocommerce support and pre-made store templates.
The Astra theme is a perfect fit for those who want to create a fast-loading eCommerce website. It includes all the necessary elements to make a fast-loading website, including an optimized theme structure, image & video optimization, and a CDN. It also has a detailed documentation and a forum. The Astra team is ready to answer questions through the ticket system. It also has a Facebook community for users to interact with each other and share ideas.
Layouts
Divi has a lot more layouts to choose from. It also has a much more complete shop feature with built-in WooCommerce integration. The theme also has a few more plugin options to configure like SEO settings and ad control.
The theme also has a few more ready-to-import website demos, called starter sites. These can be installed as templates to instantly build a website.
Divi’s template library has received a major upgrade, with more than 100 page templates to choose from. These are organized in “layout packs,” with each pack containing different types of site templates. The new system allows you to save your own designs as templates and reuse them as you build.
Both themes have great support systems. Divi has a member community forum, a Facebook group, and a blog with detailed articles on how to use the theme. Astra offers premium support and has a well-documented knowledge base on how to use the theme.
SEO
Divi has many design options for users to customize their site. Some of these include borders for elements, shape dividers, and more. However, it is important to note that these design features can take up a lot of resources and slow down the website’s loading speed. It is therefore best to ensure that the theme is optimized for speed by using image & video optimization and by integrating CDNs.
Both themes have a good selection of starter templates that can be imported into your site. However, Divi also offers a feature called the Divi Library that allows you to create your own custom layouts.
Divi has a built-in page builder but does not support third-party page builders. On the other hand, Astra works well with major plugins like Elementor, Beaver Builder, and Brizy. This makes it a better choice for people who want a lightweight theme that does not require a separate page builder. It is also faster than Divi out of the box. |
