Does changing WordPress Theme Affect My SEO?

[Arun Nath J]

Literally changing theme doesn't affect your page ranks. But when you change your theme, it is obvious that it affects the page load speed, readability and usability. And if your new theme takes much time to load or uncomfortable for a reader, they will close the window and as a result bounce rate will go high and page rank may go down.

So if your new theme is good for readers, i.e, if it makes your audience easy navigation and readability, it won't make any problem to your page rank.
