then you have to check the SEO performance of that template because it is important for ranking and also google can crawl your page more better, your page should contain metadata and some schema everything should be in the perfect way.
And also, it should comply with the fresh needs of a google search engine, google updates its algorithm day to day, and for that webmaster should also have an updated site, so that person should get the most benefit out of it.
