Generatepress is one of the best and light weight WordPress themes. The main theme is completely free of cost but to get more exciting and editing features, you need to buy the premium version of GeneratePress.
In this post, I am going to review about the Generatepress Premium and show you how you can create an awesome WordPress Blog using it.
What is GeneratePress?
GeneratePress is a very light-weight theme that comes with plenty of customization options. With a huge amount of downloads on WordPress theme directory and over 200k active installations, this is the widely used and very popular WordPress theme.
It is also managed with all 5-star rating and boost up your site loading speed. If you want to create a content-focused blog and doing affiliate marketing then this is an ideal theme for you.
But when you create a news website or where you have to add more design graphics GeneratePress might not be a good choice for you.
What Comes with GeneratePress Premium?
There are so many benefits of using GeneratePress premium and you cannot ignore it. I highly recommend you to use their premium version to make most out of your GeneratePress Theme.
GeneratePress Premium is basically an addon plugin that enhances the functionality of the GeneratePress theme. It also adds some more editing and design options to your Blog. Let’s check out some of its features:
1. Site Library
GeneratePress premium comes with Site library. This allows to imort the predesigned themes directly from their cloud sites with applicable plugins. It’s just like click and go.
They regularly update their site library. So, you can click the refresh button to see some of the new designs. Site Library is a time saver for many bloggers as it will install the designs easily and you have to customize a few options of it.

GeneratePress is built for marketers. So, it is designed to rank well in search engines. The codes and CSS written on this theme is SEO friendly.
Its awesome page loading speed is also a big factor which helps you to rank better and lead your blog in search competition.
Free vs Premium
If you are comparing GeneratePress free vs premium then you know that premium version has lots of features. If you wish you can use their free version which can be downloaded through WordPress theme directory. However, free theme comes with limited customization options.
Premium version comes with 10+ modules that help you to customize your blog. You have already know the features and benefits of the premium version. All of these modules can be avail by paying a minimal price which is definitely not expensive.

I really can’t resist myself to try the GeneratePress. The result is quite overwhelming. Combining all the features of GeneratePress, adding Elements, setting display rules, you could create something quite amazing.
If you still looking for a theme that can give you awesome customization features without impacting your page loading speed than GP premium is an ideal choice for you. Just get started with it and let me know your experiences with me.
