Aggregated Core Web Vitals performance by Shopify Theme

How does your Shopify theme perform on real shops with real users?

Data last updated: 03 Mar 2026

Learn how popular Shopify themes perform against Google's Core Web Vitals (CWVs) experienced by real users. For each theme listed, the numbers are the percentage of shops for which at least 75% of users experienced good performance.

Methodology

The data is aggregated for the last 7 days before the update with no sampling (100% of events). We try to exclude as much bot traffic as possible. The data combines all device types (desktop and mobile).

For a shop to be eligible to be counted for a theme, it has to fulfill the following conditions:

  • Have at least 100 events (views) per day.
  • Be an active shop.
  • Use a custom domain (not shop.myshopify.com).
  • Use one of the latest 3 versions of the base theme.

Previously, we aggregated the data without any version restrictions. Our goal was to provide a general overview of the entire ecosystem that way. At the same time, we understand this approach doesn't give justice to authors who worked on improving their theme in recent versions.

After some discussion, we decided only to consider stores using the 3 most recent versions of each theme. It should hopefully give a better indication of the current performance while accounting for the time needed to update after a new release.

My theme shows up slow, is that bad?

Not necessarily. The real-user performance of a store is dependant on a lot of factors, including but not limited to:

  • The theme code, including the version of the theme and any customizations.
  • The apps and third-parties added to the shop, including tag managers.

At the same time, at scale, a well-optimized base theme is the biggest factor in the final store performance.

Next steps for merchants

If you're a merchant reading this post, consider the following actions to improve performance:

  • Make sure you are on the latest version of your theme so that you can take advantage of any new features and optimizations.
  • Review all apps, third party code, and tags in tag managers installed for your store to make sure they are still used and provide value.
  • Audit customisations you have made and make sure they are still required. Updating to the latest theme may mean some features are supported natively.
  • Monitor performance once you are done. We recommend using real user data from your web performance dashboard.
