Shopify Theme Detector

About

Looking for a practical way to analyze Shopify store themes inside DevTools? Shopify Theme Detector is a DevTools extension that analyzes Shopify stores using client-side browser metrics. It detects whether a site is built on Shopify and provides insights such as load time, HTML size, DOM node count, DOM depth, and repeated sections to help evaluate theme structure and complexity. It also tracks all network requests, including errors and redirects, in a sortable, developer-friendly table.
