Broadcast speed & Core Web Vitals
Across 672 real Broadcast stores, 75.6% pass Google’s Core Web Vitals (median LCP 1.5s). Filtered to stores running only a few apps, that rises to 85.8%, isolating the theme’s own speed from the apps merchants pile on.
Broadcast holds a spot few themes manage: it wants your store to read like a magazine and sell like a storefront at once. Built by Presidio and sold through the Shopify Theme Store, it pairs editorial, content-led sections with the kind of merchandising tools most shops would otherwise stitch together from apps.
That combination is why it turns up so often on brands where presentation carries the sale, from jewelry and accessories to food and drink and other mid-to-large catalogs that live on strong imagery. Its named style presets give each of those a different starting point, so a food brand and a jewelry label can both run Broadcast and look nothing alike.
The case for Broadcast is that you get two themes in one: a content system polished enough for lookbooks and storytelling, and a selling layer with upsells, promotions and quick add-to-cart already wired in. For a brand that sells on imagery and mood but still needs to convert, that saves a stack of apps and a lot of fiddling.
What you pay for that reach is complexity. All those sections and options take time to set up well, and a store with a small catalog or a plain product line will use only a slice of what Broadcast offers. It repays merchants who will actually lean on the content side; for anyone who just needs a straightforward shop, it is more theme than the job calls for. If your storefront is meant to sell a story as much as a product, little else on the Theme Store does both this comfortably.

How this data works
This figure comes from live detection: we scan Shopify storefronts and read the active theme each one runs, then express it as a share of the 3,500,000+ stores in our dataset. It is a share of every store in our dataset, not just recently scanned stores, so it moves more slowly than the month-over-month figures on our trends page. We report what is currently detected, not historical installs or Theme Store / App Store counts.
Independent by design: rankings are determined solely by live detection data. Affiliate relationships never affect what ranks or how stores are counted. Read the full methodology →
