What the author says it does

Stoat is a clean, minimal and lightweight WordPress blog theme for a personal blog, a writer or author website, and a newsletter. Start from a free demo, imported in a few clicks: a food blog, recipe blog, travel blog, lifestyle blog, fashion blog, beauty blog, parenting blog, fitness blog, photography blog, book blog, gardening blog, DIY blog, home decor blog, personal finance blog, pet blog, developer blog and more. What makes it different? (1) Fast: no page builder, self-hosted fonts only (no Google Fonts) and one small script. (2) Accessibility and SEO friendly. (3) Modern native Gutenberg editor. (4) Many options in the native WP Customizer: three header layouts, a left or right sidebar, list or stacked posts, colors, fonts and a dark header skin. (5) RTL-ready for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu sites, and multilingual with WPML and Polylang. Live preview: https://stoat.owldraft.com

Where this page's numbers come from

Read from the WordPress.org theme API on October 31, 2026. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this theme.
