Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureStore Health audits eight areas of your store in one read-only scan: theme code, scripts (including leftover code from uninstalled apps), broken links, product SEO, AI visibility, discounts, files and metafields. Issues are ranked by priority, and code issues show the exact file and line, so you or your developer know what to fix first. Scan on demand or on a schedule, compare runs, and export PDF or JSON.
LocaleGuard scans your store to find missing translations, incomplete SEO fields, and broken locales across products, collections, pages, and metafields. Get a clear status per locale, drill into exact issues, and export reports for audits or launches. Run scans anytime to catch localization problems before they impact customers or search visibility.
- Theme & Liquid issues with exact file references
- Script risk and performance checks for heavy or duplicate code
- Metafield cleanup analysis across all owner types
- Product content gap checks for SEO, images, descriptions
- Find missing translations and broken locales across your store
- Check SEO titles and descriptions per locale
- Audit selected metafields for localization gaps
- Export clear reports for launches and content reviews
