Aurora theme preview

Aurora

Aurora is a Shopify theme by Getsitecontrol ($390). Tested on 2026-11-08 with Google Lighthouse via PageSpeed Insights on its own demo store, it scores 58 for mobile speed and 69 for desktop speed, 92/92 for SEO and 97/94 for accessibility (mobile/desktop, 0–100). Those are medians across its 5 tested presets; mobile speed across every tested page ranges from 33 to 73. On its marketplace it is rated 4.9 out of 5 from 58 reviews. Note: its demo home page is heavy — 6 MB — heavier than a typical store, so the speed score may understate the theme.
