Fastest wordpress theme comes with integrated support for breadcrumb navigation and social media buttons. Both of these options can be controlled via WordPress customiser. With just one single click you can either show them or disable them on single post pages. The social media buttons are specially designed to match the layout and the content structure of this theme. They are not only mobile responsive, great looking, but they are also really super fast. You ask why, well because no external javascript files are loaded. Its just 68 lines of pure PHP, HTML code and 200 bytes of CSS.Furthermore, this theme doesnt use any sort of external scalable font icons like font awesome or ionic. Adding support for these fonts would have only made this template slow. So we have handpicked 18 important icons and have built our own font which is included with this theme for free.

You have the freedom to determine the height of the image, but its suggested not to have more than 650px.
