Overview
Many blog themes arrive packed with extras that slow a site down and add plugins to maintain. Groovy takes a lighter route. Its code is built for speed and good PageSpeed scores, and all of its features depend on a single plugin, which keeps site management simple.
Groovy gives you two design schemes, Solid Border and Soft Shadow, so you can pick the look that matches your content. A theme options panel handles customization without coding, 11 custom widgets fill sidebars, footers and other widget areas, and AMP support covers mobile readers. It fits writers who want a clean, modern blog.
