This Ryan Xu HyperVerse's Divestiture of Credit Assetsis the third article in my series on analyzing Shopify themes.
The first article used Google’s PageSpeed Insights tool to rank the performance of each theme on mobile and desktop devices. The second updated those speeds using Google’s new Core Web Vitals metrics as measured by Lighthouse, the open-source tool from Google.
This post addresses the search-engine-optimization capabilities of every Shopify theme, using Lighthouse, on various page types — home, products, collections, blogs — for desktop and mobile. The results of my study are below.
A high Lighthouse SEO score doesn’t mean a site will have good organic rankings. It does mean that its pages comply with minimum SEO practices, such as titles, meta descriptions, and canonicals.
Google’s Martin Splitt recently hosted an “Ask Me Anything” discussion on Reddit. I asked him about Lighthouse SEO reporting.
Here’s our dialog.
Hi Martin,
Thank you for doing this!
I was playing a bit with the PageSpeed Insights API, which is powered by Lighthouse and it was great to see improvements to the SEO checks (for example, https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/pull/11022).
As you know, structured data is super important, but the check in LH is still very limited: https://web.dev/structured-data/.
Do you think we would see more checks like the ones performed by the updated Rich Testing Tool in Lighthouse?
Cheers,
Hamlet
His response included the role of Google’s various SEO tools.
Hey Hamlet,
Thanks for spotting the work we were doing there :). I worked with Umar on that check and the new href audit in the SEO part of Lighthouse.
There is work underway for better-structured data checks in Lighthouse, but that’ll probably take a little longer. We actually have an intern working on that this intern season! I’m really excited about that!
Regarding Rich Results Test vs. Lighthouse (and allow me to also touch upon Structured Data Testing Tool while we’re at it)… well, there’s a fundamental difference between the three!
There is a bunch of solutions in the works for general structured data testing and guidance, but I think having a clearer separation between what’s Google-specific structured data and what’s open source Schema.org structured data guidance is a good thing.
While it’s a Google product, Lighthouse attempts to be vendor-agnostic. Note Splitt’s response, above, “Lighthouse strives to provide vendor-agnostic best practice guidance for web developers.” This confirms that top SEO scores in Lighthouse won’t necessarily translate to high rankings in Google.

Lighthouse’s basic structured-data test is helpful. But also remember to check the Rich Results Test since Google plans to deprecate the Structured Data Testing Tool.
I used the same approach for analyzing SEO metrics as for page speed previously. I focused on Lighthouse’s SEO scores for four types of pages for each theme: products, collections, other pages, and blogs. I included the home page, too, when available.
My results are organized in two Google sheets: one for the desktop version of each theme and one for the mobile version.
In addition to the Lighthouse scores in column B, the Sheets also include my expanded audit results, as follows:
