TL;DRWe installed Citera v1.1 on the second store, licheni.ro. Compared to v1.0 (running on atadesaci.ro), PageSpeed scores improve clearly on four fronts: Accessibility 92 to 100, SEO 92 to 100, Best Practices 73 to 92 and Agentic Browsing 2/3 to 3/3. Performance varies from store to store (catalog, images, apps installed by the merchant), so we don't pull conclusions from a single number. The declared target is Performance 95 or above, on mobile and desktop, on every important page. We aren't there yet on either store, we say so directly.
When we shipped Citera v1.0 and the first store (atadesaci.ro), the idea was simple: we don't sell promises of "AI visibility", we sell a theme that behaves correctly when you measure it. The first client came in from there, so it was the right moment for a second install and the first round of improvement iterations.
The second store, licheni.ro, runs version 1.1 of the theme. It has a few improvements over v1.0, and the differences aren't theoretical, they show up in the numbers. Below we put the two stores side by side, on PageSpeed Insights, with the numbers as they are, not cherry-picked to look good.
Direct comparison: v1.0 vs. v1.1
The numbers below come from PageSpeed Insights, on real production pages. Same metrics, same criteria, different stores (different catalog, different images, different apps). What we care about is the trend between theme versions, not the ranking between the two stores.
| Metric | Atadesaci.ro (v1.0) | Licheni.ro (v1.1) |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 92 mobile, 92 desktop | 100 mobile, 100 desktop |
| SEO | 92 mobile, 92 desktop | 100 mobile, 100 desktop |
| Best Practices | 73 mobile, 73 desktop | 92 mobile, 92 desktop |
| Agentic Browsing | 2 / 3 | 3 / 3 |
| Performance | 96 mobile, 86 desktop | 74 mobile, 88 desktop |
What is clearly visible: Accessibility, SEO, Best Practices and Agentic Browsing all improve on v1.1 vs v1.0. That's four of the five main areas PageSpeed evaluates, so this isn't a coincidence, it's a consistent improvement between theme versions.
Performance, on the other hand, varies. On atadesaci.ro the mobile score is better; on licheni.ro, the desktop score is better. It's important to say clearly: Performance doesn't depend only on the theme. Catalog size, the number and weight of images, the apps the merchant has installed, and how their third-party integrations run (analytics, pop-ups, chat widgets) all matter. A good theme gives you a good start. From there, the final number is a conversation between theme and store, not a pure rating of the theme.
Agentic Browsing 3/3: why it matters right now
The "Agentic Browsing" category in PageSpeed evaluates how easy it is for an AI agent (a model-driven browser, the kind that shops on behalf of the user) to understand, navigate and act on your store. It's a young metric, but exactly the kind of signal Citera targets by design.
On v1.0 the score is 2 of 3. On v1.1, 3 of 3, on both device types. What that means for the merchant: when Google AI Mode, Perplexity Shopping or the various commercial agents shipping through 2026 start delivering products recommended directly inside the answer, your store is read correctly, not skipped because the interface confuses the agent.
It's a simple metric, but the signal is clear: v1.1 takes a small step in a direction that matters.
What we iterated between v1.0 and v1.1
No full changelog (this isn't a dev page), just the directions we prioritized for the second version:
- Accessibility. Contrast fixes, missing ARIA roles on a few CRO components, and better keyboard navigation in drawers and menus.
- SEO. Template refactors so every important page lands in the 100 band, not just the homepage and product page.
- Best Practices. Cleanup on the resource strategy (correct permissions, modern headers, images with complete attributes) so Lighthouse stops penalizing details we could fix at the theme layer.
- Agentic Browsing. Refinements to semantic HTML and structured data to satisfy the last criterion in that category, on product, collection and blog pages.
Each of these iterations stays in the trunk. When v1.2 goes live on the third store, the improvements from here are already in it, plus whatever we learn there.
What we haven't hit yet
Our declared target for Citera is simple: Performance 95 or above, on mobile and desktop, on every important page. We aren't there yet on either of the two stores. Here's where we stand:
- Atadesaci.ro (v1.0): 96 mobile (above target), 86 desktop (below target).
- Licheni.ro (v1.1): 74 mobile (below target), 88 desktop (below target).
The reasons differ: on v1.0, desktop is penalized by a few large images and a not-quite-optimal LCP; on v1.1, the mobile number takes a hit from the store's catalog and integrations, not the theme itself. That's an honest distinction, not an excuse. The direction for v1.2 is clear: more optimization budget on images, on hydration of the CRO sections, and on preload strategy, plus clearer merchant documentation on how not to break the score with uncontrolled app installs.
We don't sell one good number from a single store. We sell a theme that measurably improves from one version to the next, on verified data.
Who gets v1.1 and how
Clients already on v1.0 get the v1.1 migration at no cost, and we handle it as an assisted setup (you don't click buttons, we save current settings and carry them over to the new version). New clients get v1.1 directly on installation.
Support stays available in English and Romanian, with documentation updated to the current version. If you sell in the EU or globally on Shopify and want your store read correctly by both Google and the AI engines, now is the right time to test it. Write to us at info@allsoftagency.ro and we'll show you what v1.1 would look like on your case.
We install the theme, configure it to your brief, and hand off a complete AI visibility setup (JSON-LD, llms.txt / agents.md, IndexNow, metafields). Write to info@allsoftagency.ro or call +40 756 247 611, we reply within 24h.
