The state of PrestaShop stores in 2026: what we learned scanning 130 of them

A few weeks ago we shipped a free audit scanner for PrestaShop stores — 21 checks across security, SEO, performance, platform hygiene, and internationalization. Before promoting it, we wanted to know: where does the average PrestaShop store actually stand? So we pulled 174 real stores from BuiltWith's public PrestaShop lists across Spain, France, Italy, Southern Europe, and the global tier. 130 of them responded to the scan (the other 44 blocked bots, had expired certs, or were dev environments)
