Shopify Theme Audit Sheet
Shopify's own position is that upgrading to Online Store 2.0 is not mandatory. This sheet gives you the published figures to measure against before deciding.
What Is In The Shopify Theme Audit Sheet
- Section and block counts against the published ceilings.
- App blocks, and which apps still need a developer to place.
- The accessibility figures: contrast ratios, touch targets, keyboard navigation, valid HTML.
- Theme performance numbers, including the 16 KB JavaScript bundle.
- Where product content lives, and what is hardcoded that should not be.
- The four migration paths Shopify names, and the factors it says to weigh.
- What to establish before signing off a rebuild.
Why Record Failures Against The Stylesheet
Accessibility failures in a theme are usually systematic rather than scattered. A single muted colour used across the theme fails once in the stylesheet and everywhere it is applied. Recording each failure against the token or component it comes from, rather than the page it appeared on, means one fix clears them together.
The full reasoning is in the article this accompanies: What Online Store 2.0 Actually Changed.
Prefer Someone To Audit Your Theme?
The Shopify store audit is free. The form asks for your store URL and a note on what is eating the time, and a theme rebuild quote you are weighing up is a reasonable thing to put in that box.
