In this video, I break down the key differences between Shopify’s new Horizon theme and the widely-used Dawn theme. If you’re wondering whether to upgrade your current Shopify store or stick with what you have, this side-by-side comparison is for you.
✅ What’s Inside:
– Introduction to the Horizon theme (Summer ’25)
– Key differences between Horizon and Dawn theme
– Evolution of theme structures from Shopify 1.0 Debut theme to Horizon
– Real-world speed and performance tests of both themes
– Insights on who should adopt the Horizon theme now and who might benefit from waiting
The Horizon theme is one of Shopify’s newest default themes, designed for modern storefronts with a focus on performance, customization, and conversion. One of its standout features is Global Blocks — a long-awaited addition that allows you to reuse and manage content across multiple pages. This means you can update a block once, and it reflects everywhere it’s used, saving tons of time and keeping your store consistent.
I also cover how the JSON theme structure has evolved from the Dawn theme, showing you how much more flexible and modular the new Horizon setup is compared to older themes.
To make this even more practical, I run real speed and performance tests on both the Horizon and Dawn themes, so you can see which one loads faster and performs better on both desktop and mobile.
Finally, I explain who the Horizon theme is really built for and who might want to wait before switching.
🎯 Perfect for: store owners, developers, and anyone choosing between Shopify’s top free themes.
