It is relatively basic, but it is so important for you to pick a theme that is SEO friendly and secure. There are thousands of free and paid themes that are available for WordPress.
Unfortunately, some themes are built very poorly. The first step in choosing a theme is to go to a trusted developer. These are going to be premium themes, which you'll have to pay for.

Some of the features of StudioPress themes are blazing fast performance out of the box SEO, mobile, responsive designs and flexible foundational code these features are exactly what you're looking for in a WordPress theme.

And you can kind of judge and decide on what theme is going to be best for you.
