01 / Ownership

What stays on Nostra's side, and what you'll self-serve from your portal.

The runtime infrastructure is fully managed. You don't need a platform engineer or a Cloudflare account to run Nostra — and you won't be asked to touch DNS rules, edge workers, or our internal monitoring.

Audit recommendationsThe pre-trial audit surfaces specific, store-shaped recommendations. You apply them through the portal.

02 / Categories

Where we may ask for your time.

These are the seven areas where customer-side input occasionally matters. Not every category applies to every store — your pre-trial audit identifies the ones that are relevant to you. Each row notes who from your side we'd want at the table when it comes up.

01

Shopify theme

Targeted theme adjustments — typically small changes rather than rewrites. Section-level, script-level, or template-level edits to make sure cached pages render the way your shoppers expect.

Who we'll need

In-house theme owner or agency, authorized to ship theme changes during the trial.

02

Consent & privacy banner

Wherever consent law applies — the EU, the UK, and a growing list of US states (California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, with more emerging). We'll confirm your CMP vendor, review the config, and sometimes adjust how the banner is wired into the theme.

Who we'll need

Whoever owns the consent / privacy banner config — often the same theme owner.

03

Apps & integrations

Currency and locale switchers, geo-redirect apps, A/B testing tools, page-builders (GemPages, Replo, PageFly), and some review or loyalty widgets occasionally need small config tweaks on the app side to play well with edge caching.

Who we'll need

Your app-config owner — and sometimes the app vendor directly.

04

Currency & locale strategy

For multi-region stores: how regions are bucketed for caching, and how your pricing strategy interacts with our cache. Worth a brief conversation before traffic starts flowing through Nostra.

Who we'll need

Your commerce or merchandising owner.

05

Cache duration & TTL

You apply per-path TTL changes from your Nostra portal. We surface recommendations from the pre-trial audit — for example, low-traffic page classes that never warm under default TTL — and your team approves and ships them.

Who we'll need

A decision-maker for site performance or engineering with portal access.

06

Page weight & site quality

When top pages ship unusually heavy HTML, we'll raise it as universal page-quality advice — not Nostra-specific. It's worth flagging before your team notices it on their own; Nostra accelerates what's there, but lighter pages always win.

Who we'll need

Your theme owner.

07

Multi-region verification

Your QA or marketing team may spot-check trial behavior from your users' jurisdictions, particularly anything legally sensitive — consent UI, currency rendering, regional pricing.

Who we'll need

QA, marketing ops, or a trusted partner in the relevant region.

03 / In practice

Your audit decides what's relevant.

The seven categories above are the universe of things that might come up — not a checklist we'll run against your store. Your pre-trial audit produces the specifics: which areas are in scope, in what order, and what good looks like for your traffic profile.

Currency strategy is irrelevant to a single-locale store. Consent banner is critical for any store with non-trivial traffic from consent-required jurisdictions. We lead with what's relevant to you.
