About the test

Hypothesis

A store rebuilt on a clean, modern theme performs at least as well as the hard-coded custom theme it replaces.

Learned

Head to head on live traffic, the new theme showed no measurable change in revenue per visitor and +1.4% conversion rate. Over 34 days the store simply didn't see enough traffic to detect anything but a very large swing, so the honest reading is no measurable difference — not no effect.
