What Shopify theme is this store using?

How to find a Shopify store's theme yourself

The tool does this for you, but it helps to know where the answer comes from. Every Shopify store puts a small piece of code in its homepage that names the theme. You can read it in about a minute:

1. Open the store in Chrome, Edge or Firefox on a computer.
2. Right-click anywhere on the page and choose View page source (or press Ctrl+U, or Cmd+Option+U on a Mac).
3. Press Ctrl+F and search for Shopify.theme.
4. Look for schema_name. That is the original theme. schema_version is its version, and name is whatever the store owner called their copy.

If theme_store_id has a number, the theme came from the Shopify Theme Store. If it says null, the theme is custom or was bought somewhere else.

What the app list tells you

Most Shopify apps add a script to the store, and each script has a recognisable address. A review app loads from its own servers, a chat bubble from another, a Meta or TikTok pixel from another. The detector matches those addresses against a list of more than 60 common apps and services.

It's a useful view of a competitor's setup: what they use for reviews, email, subscriptions, upsells and tracking. It's also a quick health check on your own store. Each of those scripts has to download before the page feels finished, and on a phone that adds up fast.

Theme or apps: which slows a store down more?

In our experience the apps usually cost more speed than the theme. A modern theme like Dawn loads quickly on its own. Add a review widget, two pop-ups, a chat bubble, four tracking pixels and a page builder, and the same theme can feel very slow on a phone. If the detector shows more than ten other services loading on the homepage, that is the first place we would look.
