Hey Hall,

We can't tell you anything specific unless you upload the theme on your domain. In speed tests, your hosting servers and development plays a vital role.

As far as the SEO-friendliness is concerned, by looking at the theme we can only tell about the UX and overall design matters. Second theme looks good to me.

Good luck!

Thanks,

Agree with Umar regarding your speed question. I guess the only other thing you could do is check the forums for questions and concerns raised regarding the theme speed. You'd have to read thru them carefully though to make sure any issues raised are theme related and not something else.

As to your second question, you might find this article helpful - https://yoast.com/wordpress-seo-plugin-theme-integration-guide/. It's Yoast's explanation of how to pick a theme that can be optimized.
