Final Thoughts

After studying these 25 shops, we can pick out a few trends. The most obvious is the use of Cloudflare’s CDN service by every website across the board. This is because Shopify’s content delivery network is powered by Fastly and Cloudflare.

The second trend to note is the use of custom themes by a majority of shops on this list. If we break this trend down even further, we can see that the top five shops use custom themes and less successful shops use free or premade themes.

The final trend we’ll point out is the use of a single app used by a majority of the stores (described as an app “used for email marketing”) listed above. It’s Klaviyo, a marketing automation platform for ecommerce businesses that’s especially useful for email marketing.
