Google says utilizing the identical web site theme on a number of web sites is ok

Do you want to use the same design theme on multiple websites? Well, Google’s John Mueller said it was okay to do this, in fact he said many websites share a similar or same topic.

The question was: “Does code duplication affect SEO? I used my CSS classes from domain” A “for domain” B “, are there any negative effects on our website SEO? John replied” No “which means that it is ok to do this, it won’t hurt you negatively in google search.

I asked for a little more clarification and he rephrased his question: “Actually, am I creating a WordPress theme and can I use it on multiple websites?” John then replied to this saying, “Many websites use the same topics,” which means that all is well.

Here are these tweets:

Also, in the past, Google talked about topics and said that they are changing topics don’t hurt but later said Changes in topic can affect rankings depending on what is changed.
