BALLAST theme preview

BALLAST

BALLAST is a Framer theme by SoloFoundry ($39). Tested on 2026-09-15 with Google Lighthouse via PageSpeed Insights on its own demo store, it scores 21 for mobile speed and 61 for desktop speed, 100/100 for SEO and 88/88 for accessibility (mobile/desktop, 0–100). Note: its demo home page is heavy — 6.9 MB — heavier than a typical store, so the speed score may understate the theme.
