I'm not a huge fan of Shopify. Their default setup and theme requirements are abysmal. But it's light-years ahead of WordPress+Woocom. Neither of these are well set to run a proper…

Where's your control group showing that people who don't age don't have an increased risk of cancer?

+1 for Ritual. The interface is a little clunky, but the service as a whole works really well. Order ahead, walk in to pick up.

Cloudflare was returning a 502 this morning, wonder if they're related. Lots and lots of sites down for about an hour, including all of Shopify.
