Citera v1.1 on licheni.ro: measured changes versus v1.0 (Accessibility 100, SEO 100, Agentic 3/3)

At a glanceWe installed Citera v1.1 on the second store, licheni.ro. Compared with v1.0, running on atadesaci.ro, the reported checks improved in four areas: Accessibility from 92 to 100, SEO from 92 to 100, Best Practices from 73 to 92 and Agentic Browsing from 2/3 to 3/3. Performance varies between stores because of catalogues, images and merchant-installed apps, so we do not draw conclusions from one number. Our stated target is Performance 95 or above on mobile and desktop across all important pages. Neither store has reached that overall target yet.

When we launched Citera v1.0 and the first store, atadesaci.ro, the idea was simple: a theme that behaves correctly when measured, rather than promises of "AI visibility". That brought the first client, making it the right time for a second installation and initial improvements.

The second store, licheni.ro, runs version 1.1 of the theme. It has several improvements over v1.0, with differences visible in the figures. Below we compare both stores in PageSpeed Insights, showing the numbers as recorded.


Direct comparison: v1.0 vs v1.1

The figures below come from PageSpeed Insights on real production pages. The metrics and criteria are the same, but the stores, catalogues, images and apps differ. We are examining the observed differences between installations, not ranking the 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

The table presents historical results reported by the agency for two different stores. The differences do not isolate the theme version's effect: catalogue, apps, content and testing conditions differ. A causal conclusion requires a comparison on the same store under documented conditions.

Performance varies. Atadesaci.ro has the higher mobile figure; licheni.ro has the higher desktop figure. It is important to be clear: Performance does not depend only on the theme. Catalogue, image size and count, merchant-installed apps and third-party integrations such as analytics, pop-ups and chat all matter. A good theme provides a starting point. The final figure reflects both theme and store, rather than a pure theme rating.


Agentic Browsing 3/3: why it matters

The "Agentic Browsing" category checks how easily an AI agent β€” a model-controlled browser acting for a user β€” can understand, navigate and act on a store. It is an emerging check relevant to Citera's design goals.

The 2/3 and 3/3 results are those reported in the agency's historical checks. Chrome documentation describes Agentic browsing as an informational check of accessibility, stability and WebMCP integration. It is not a ranking score and does not prove a store will be recommended, cited or successfully used by every AI agent.

It is a limited check that helps identify areas for improvement.


What we changed between v1.0 and v1.1

This is not a full developer changelog, but the areas prioritised for the second version:

  • Accessibility. Contrast corrections, missing ARIA roles in several CRO components and improved keyboard navigation in drawers and menus.
  • SEO. Refactoring several templates to target scores of 100 across important store pages, beyond the homepage and product page.
  • Best Practices. Resource handling improvements β€” correct permissions, modern headers and complete image attributes β€” to address Lighthouse findings within the theme's control.
  • Agentic Browsing. Refinements to semantic HTML and structured data aimed at meeting the category's remaining criterion on product, collection and blog pages.

Each improvement remains in the main codebase. When v1.2 goes live on the third store, it will include these changes alongside what we learn there.


What we have not yet achieved

Our stated target for Citera is simple: Performance of 95 or above on mobile and desktop across all important pages. Neither store has reached that overall target yet. Here is the current historical snapshot:

  • 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 source diagnosis differs by store: v1.0 desktop was affected by large images and an imperfect LCP; v1.1 mobile was reported to be affected by the catalogue and integrations. These contributions require profiling and cannot be isolated from this comparison alone. The direction for v1.2 is clear: more work on image optimisation, CRO-section hydration and preloading, plus clearer merchant documentation on controlling the impact of installed apps.

We are not selling one good number from a single store. We are developing a theme with measurable improvements across versions, evaluated against verified data.


Who receives v1.1 and how?

Clients with v1.0 receive migration to v1.1 at no charge, handled by our team. We save existing settings and transfer them to the new version. New clients receive v1.1 on installation.

Support remains in Romanian, with documentation updated for the version. If you sell in Romania on Shopify and want clear information for both Google and AI systems, contact us to test it. Write to info@allsoftagency.ro and we will show how v1.1 could work for your store.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Performance vary so much between the two stores?
PageSpeed's Performance score does not measure the theme alone. It reflects image count and size, installed apps, third-party scripts such as chat, pop-ups and analytics, and how long they block rendering. A good theme provides a starting point; the final figure depends on how it is used on each store.
What does "Agentic Browsing 3/3" mean in practice?
It indicates that all three checks in the reported informational category passed in that historical run. These checks concern how an AI-controlled browser can interact with a store. They do not establish search rankings, recommendations or successful purchases by all AI agents.
I have v1.0 installed. What should I do?
We will contact you. Migration to v1.1 is included and assisted: we save your settings, update the theme, verify the setup together and publish. There is no migration charge; preserving configuration is part of the process.
When will Performance reach 95 on both device types?
That is the stated target for v1.2 and the merchant documentation. Priorities include image optimisation through fetchpriority and expanded srcset, more selective CRO-section hydration and guidance on managing installed apps. When v1.2 goes live on the third store, we will update the article with the figures.
Can I see both stores in production?
Yes. V1.0 runs on atadesaci.ro, and v1.1 on licheni.ro. Open both on mobile and desktop, test search, cart and actual speed. For PageSpeed scores, use pagespeed.web.dev and run a test on the URL you want to assess.

Figure source: PageSpeed Insights, direct measurements on atadesaci.ro (Citera v1.0) and licheni.ro (Citera v1.1), checked by the operator. PageSpeed figures can vary between runs with network load, caching and factors outside the theme. For full theme context, see the launch article Citera: a Shopify theme designed for AI visibility.
