About TemplateRank
Helping you find high-performing website templates based on real data
Our Mission
TemplateScore was created to help designers, developers, and businesses find website templates that not only look good but actually perform well in the real world. We believe that performance, accessibility, and SEO should be prioritized alongside aesthetics.
What We Do
We evaluate templates from popular platforms like Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, and Framer using objective metrics. Each template is tested for:
- Page speed and performance
- SEO optimization
- Mobile responsiveness
- Accessibility compliance
- Conversion readiness
Our testing methodology uses industry-standard tools like Google Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights to ensure consistent and reliable results.
Why It Matters
Choosing a template based solely on appearance can lead to hidden problems down the road. Poor performance affects user experience, search engine rankings, and ultimately your bottom line. By focusing on performance metrics, we help you make informed decisions that will benefit your website in the long term.
Our Values
- Transparency: We clearly explain our testing methodology and scoring system.
- Objectivity: We rely on data-driven metrics rather than subjective opinions.
- Simplicity: We present information in a clean, easy-to-understand format.
- Utility: We focus on providing genuinely useful information for decision-making.
Testing Process
Each template undergoes a rigorous testing process to ensure consistent and reliable results. Here's how we do it:
- Template Setup: We install each template on its native platform with standard demo content.
- Standardized Testing: We run multiple tests using industry-standard tools like Google Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights.
- Multiple Device Testing: We test on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices to ensure responsive design.
- Score Calculation: We calculate average scores across multiple test runs to ensure accuracy.
- Regular Re-testing: Templates are re-tested periodically to account for updates and changes.
Scoring System
Each template receives a score from 0-100 in each category. The overall score is a weighted average of all categories, with performance and mobile responsiveness given slightly higher weight due to their impact on user experience and search rankings.
Limitations
While we strive for objectivity, there are some limitations to our methodology:
- Templates are tested with demo content, which may perform differently than with your actual content.
- Performance can vary based on hosting, customizations, and plugins added after installation.
- Some aspects of design quality are inherently subjective and not fully captured in our metrics.
- Platform updates may affect template performance over time.
