 Replying to [comment:21 Denis-de-Bernardy]:
 > Personally, I'd suggest page template (if any) then try front-page.php,
 then home.php, then try page.php for best compat.

 That should be refined, I think:

 If static front page set:
 custom template > front-page.php > page.php > index.php

 If not a static front page:
 front-page.php > home.php > index.php

 home.php should not be considered for the front page, when a static front
 page is set, because is_home() will be false for the front page.
