Paper
Paper is a Shopify theme by Brickspace Lab ($320). Tested on 2026-11-08 with Google Lighthouse via PageSpeed Insights on its own demo store, it scores 81 for mobile speed and 95 for desktop speed, 90/90 for SEO and 89/89 for accessibility (mobile/desktop, 0–100). Those are medians across its 5 tested presets; mobile speed across every tested page ranges from 70 to 98. On its marketplace it is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 53 reviews. Note: its demo home page is heavy — 40.4 MB — heavier than a typical store, so the speed score may understate the theme.
