Editorial Team
The RevealTheme Team
The RevealTheme editorial team writes about WordPress, hosting, themes, and plugins. Every article is researched, tested on real sites, and edited by humans before publication. We've been covering the WordPress ecosystem since 2017.
About The RevealTheme Team
The RevealTheme editorial team is a small group of WordPress practitioners — designers, developers, and writers — who have built, broken, and rebuilt WordPress sites since the WordPress 3.x era. We use the platforms we write about. We host real sites on the providers we review. We run the plugins we recommend. When we say a theme is heavy or a host is unreliable, it's because we measured it on a site we operate. We are independent. We are not paid by any vendor for favorable coverage. Some links in our reviews are affiliate links (clearly disclosed); affiliate revenue does not influence which products we recommend.
Areas of expertise
- WordPress performance optimization
- Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed
- Theme and plugin compatibility testing
- WordPress hosting evaluation
- Schema.org and structured data
- SEO for content sites and tools sites
