Porto vs Qwery Theme comparison [2024] 💥
PORTO vs QWERY
Qwery vs Porto, two very popular Wordpress themes for years. Both Porto and Qwery are currently among the best-selling themes on the Themeforest marketplace. Both themes also receive a very good rating from their users. Let's see which theme offers more value for money.
PORTO THEME (Qwery vs Porto)
I will discuss here the Wordpress version of the Porto Theme. There is also an HTML 5 version that has been around much longer, that you can find here. But we will discuss that another time. The Porto Theme has risen sharply lately, although it has always been among the best themes.

Porto theme review: Rating
When we check out Porto's rating on Themeforest, it is indeed 4.92 out of 5. I know the site and all the themes very well there, and 4.92 may very well be the highest possible rating for the 20 best-selling themes. There are themes with a higher rating, but not on Themeforest. Porto has been sold over 78.767+ times and 2855 people have given a rating, so that is very reliable.
Porto theme review: Demos
The theme has gone through some pretty extreme improvements that we're going to talk about now. Just like any other self-respecting WP theme nowadays, Porto has ready-made demo websites that can be installed with one click. They have added 30 of these since the last upgrade, bringing the total to almost 100.
The nice thing about demos is that you can make a quick start. The website is already with the wrong photos and texts in principle. So put your logo in it, adjust texts and photos and you are well on your way to having your own site.
Porto theme review: Webshops
66 multipurpose demos are available for all conceivable niches that can be used to create beautiful corporate and private websites. It is great that no fewer than 33 demos are ready-made shops. From here you can quickly start a webshop.
Porto theme review: Speed
In the meantime, no theme wants to be left behind in terms of loading times or speed, as Google attaches more and more value to this. Porto is therefore also built with a fast code that ensures good loading times in browsers. Porto also has a built-in speed wizard that helps you make your website even faster, which is quite unique. Of course you can also do this yourself if you read my tutorial here.
Porto theme review: Pagebuilders
The Porto theme comes standard with the in my opinion very good WP Bakery Pagebuilder. A solid page builder that has several third-party plugins available to extend the elements. The theme is also fully compatible with the Elementor page builder, one of the best out there in this area. Among the demos you will find about twenty layouts that have been made with it, so that you can work with Elementor after you install one.

Porto theme review: Header builder
The header is like a grid where you can drag and drop elements. So it is easy even for laymen to build exactly the header they had in mind. A cool tool! We can't help but give the full marks for this in this Porto theme review.
Porto theme review: Elements
Porto currently offers 33 elements for the Bakery Pagebuilder, which, as mentioned before, is easy to expand with plugins.
Porto theme review: Revolution Slider
The Revolution Slider is by far the best slider plugin. There are a lot of options, which takes some getting used to if you do not know the plug-in yet and also after a major upgrade as has only happened with the new version 6. However, the documentation of the plug-in is very good, which means that you will quickly discover how everything works. Google searches also always help me with that. The good side is that once you get used to it, you don't want anything else. There are practically no limits to what it can do and everything works smoothly.
Porto theme review: Conclusion
I think the Porto theme is great. The demo layouts are beautiful, the setup of the theme is quick and easy, and it has a good loading time. The theme is indeed very suitable for building shops and the header builder is of course fantastic. The price is just standard for themes on Themeforest so that's okay too. The theme offers great value for money.
QWERY THEME (Qwery vs Porto)
QWERY THEME REVIEW
Qwery rose to a top 10 ranking in the Wordpress theme rankings on the Themeforest marketplace within a few months. They did this by offering an excellent quality theme for only $ 19. Now that the theme is known and has a very high rating, the price has risen to $ 39 and will likely increase to $ 59 soon. The theme is built to work with Elementor. Nobody will object to this as Elementor can be counted as one of the 2 best page builders out there at the moment.
QWERY RATINGS
Below you can see the average valuation of Qwery. On the Themeforest Marketplace 4.93 is one of the highest scores that you will find for Wordpress themes. The real top themes such as Astra and Divi approach the 5.0 as rating but they are not sold on this marketplace. The theme with the highest rating on this marketplace is another newcomer, the Hub Theme
QWERY INSTALLATION AND DEMOS
Installing Qwery is very easy, just like most themes. There is no free version of the theme available, so you will have to buy it for the relatively favorable price of 39 dollars compared to other good themes on the same marketplace.
It is recommended to install one of the many ready-to-go designs. As a young theme, Qwery already offers about 60 very beautiful complete designs for all types of niches and shops. There will be a lot more to come soon as they promise 2 new demos per month.
Qwery was built for the Elementor page builder which is an excellent idea and more and more themes are following this example. Elementor is one of the best page builders out there, especially when we talk about the pro version. The version in Qwery gives you more than 70 elements to work with.
QWERY SPEEDTEST
We perform a speed test with the theme under standard conditions, so without a cache plug-in and without optimized images. This theme does not indicate that it is specialized on loading times, but the results are quite good as can be seen in the image below.

QWERY INSANE EFFECTS
If you go to the Qwery sales site via the link at the bottom of this article, you can click on demo there and you will find the most beautiful demos as below for example.
QWERY THEME WEBSHOPS
It may not be the theme's specialty yet, but with Qwery you can certainly build good shops and the theme works perfectly with Woocommerce. I also saw a few nice demos for shops in their collection from which you could start your shop.
QWERY THEME REVIEW PORTFOLIOS
Qwery is simply an all-round theme that can be used for everything, including portfolios. The theme offers a reasonable number of different layouts for portfolios.
QWERY THEME REVIEW EVENTS
An event calendar is not something that all themes have, and it can certainly be called unique if it is standard in a theme. With Qwery you do not have to buy a plug-in for this.
QWERY THEME REVIEW: CONCLUSION
This is one of the best themes out there to build blogs and websites and it is rising in the rankings and it is better with every upgrade. It works perfectly with the Elementor pagebuilder and that's great too. The fact remains that Qwery, like all other themes that are sold on the Themeforest marketplace, require a separate license for each site you have. That is simply too expensive. The perfect theme for shops, blogs & websites is Divi and Astra is a very close second. These themes can be installed on multiple sites and the Divi Theme for example costs only $ 89, and comes with the Divibuilder full version! Qwery comes with Elementor, but that's the free version we're talking about then.
PORTO VS QWERY CONCLUSION
First of all, thank you for reading this Porto vs Qwery comparison to the end. Both of these themes load fairly quickly and are both great for creating blogs with. Porto and Qwery both come with the Elementor page builder free version, upgrade to Elementor Pro is highly recommended. Both themes are without a doubt very good.
The problem these themes have is that there are much better themes like Astra and Divi which are also sold at more attractive prices. Before making up your mind, I recommend that you read my best themes for [2024].
