Palo Alto

Palo Alto is a Shopify theme by Presidio ($420). Tested on 2026-11-08 with Google Lighthouse via PageSpeed Insights on its own demo store, it scores 67 for mobile speed and 87 for desktop speed, 59/59 for SEO and 95/94 for accessibility (mobile/desktop, 0–100). Those are medians across its 5 tested presets; mobile speed across every tested page ranges from 40 to 84. On its marketplace it is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 312 reviews. Note: its demo home page is heavy — 5.9 MB — heavier than a typical store, so the speed score may understate the theme.
