Sahara theme preview

Sahara

Sahara is a Shopify theme by DigiFist ($190). Tested on 2026-11-10 with Google Lighthouse via PageSpeed Insights on its own demo store, it scores 79 for mobile speed and 98 for desktop speed, 87/87 for SEO and 85/83 for accessibility (mobile/desktop, 0–100). Those are medians across its 3 tested presets; mobile speed across every tested page ranges from 71 to 85. On its marketplace it is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 106 reviews. Note: its demo home page is heavy — 8.5 MB — heavier than a typical store, so the speed score may understate the theme.
