Case Study: Shopify achieves 100% CDN uptime and faster global site performance with CDNetworks

Shopify Boosts the User Experience at Over 40,000 OnlineStores Worldwide with CDNetworks

Shopify, the SaaS ecommerce platform that supports more than 40,000 online stores and over 22 million products, faced a growing challenge: ensure consistently fast, reliable site performance for shoppers worldwide—particularly in Australia and New Zealand—without the prohibitive cost of building local datacentres. Its existing CDN partner lacked a presence in that region, while traffic was rising across the US and Europe.

Shopify chose CDNetworks for its global points of presence, including Australia, to provide content acceleration. The switch delivered faster page loads across millions of products, optimized performance in ANZ and other markets, maintained 100% CDN uptime, and became a marketable differentiator—allowing Shopify to grow globally without heavy infrastructure investment.
