Top themes for WP magazines, SEO optimized, fast loading, and very nice conversion

Ive been digging lately on different themes from Wordpress.
There are many viral blogs using many themes very similar, but it looks nice and like a standard that were built like that because it was more high conversion for sharing notes and make them viral, along with monetize big with adsense and taboola.

I plan to use Social Warfare plugin to track clicks from shared in social media.
Also I need to optimize the site with an ecommerce. But ive also found that the more plugins I have installed, the most probabilities that the site performance go down.
So anyone recommending a wordpress setup? Im using right now Newstube theme but its terrible on site loading, specially for images that already crunched, having lots of issues lately.


Anyone have a reference on blog magazines with high conversion on adsense, etc?

I'm also looking for good WB magazine type theme

I agree, the more plugins the more conflicts you see, best to keep it light. I use Thrive themes- conversion focused, lightweight and top notch support.
